A Brief History of the Lord of Wonders

Processions Lord of Miracles began in 1687, when his image, painted in fresco on the walls of the monastery, survived after a strong earthquake that destroyed the religious building, something similar to the episode that occurred in 1655, when the zeal of the protector from seismic movements began. .

The image depicts a crucified dark-skinned Christ, first painted in the 17th century by a black slave from Africa.

At present, the image that comes out in procession is a canvas that rests in the church of Nazarene, the same one that the Spanish sailor and merchant Sebastian de Antugnano had painted after the earthquake of 1687, to be worshiped every October on the streets of the capital. .
