The Lord of Miracles from 2016 to 2018
Faith moves mountains and masses. The Lord of Miracles is a venerated image of Christ crucified, painted on an adobe wall. It became miraculous after surviving an earthquake in 1655, strengthening popular devotion and giving rise to a massive annual procession in October. In this month, thousands of faithful dress in purple and walk the city streets to honor the image and ask for a miracle of faith. The original image is located on the main altar of the Sanctuary of Las Nazarenas, which has become an important place of pilgrimage and prayer. A replica was built, which, to this day, is the image that travels the streets of Lima. According to popular tradition, the Christ of Pachacamilla (also known as the Christ of Pachacamilla) was painted in 1651 by a slave from Angola who was brought to Peru. The Feast of the Lord of Miracles is the main religious celebration in Peru and one of the largest Catholic processions in the world. A sea of people can be seen from the top of a building. Faith moves masses. This combines with the feelings of longing that each person has, and that feeling is transmitted toward the faith in the Lord of Miracles. The streets prepare to receive him; many flowers are thrown from the rooftops. Tears fall onto the hands crossed in the shape of a cross by each penitent. The image of the Black Christ passes among the crowds and streets of Lima, perhaps blessing each person and home on his journey to the infinite… The society of a devout faith in the month of October.
