According to the Starwars Wikia:



Who



That is an un-named Jedi.



Fallen ruins of a statue depicting a Jedi



Significance



I believe the point of this shot is to show 2 things:



  1. Jedi are an ancient and (once) great religion

  2. This planet was once significant to Jedi

Why is it now in ruins




As more of the galaxy was mapped, more direct hyperspace routes were
discovered. These new passages made the old, winding routes, such as
those connecting with Jedha, obsolete. The once-popular Jedha became
an antiquated curiosity rather than a relevant destination, a location
for those who desired spiritual guidance, a deeper purpose, or to
simply exile themselves from the larger galaxy.

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of ...
