During the 17th century, a slave from Angola taken to Peru painted, in an improvised temple in the Pachacamilla neighborhood where slaves came to pray, an image of Jesus Christ crucified, without knowing the fervor that, years later, that image would provoke. among the Lima population.<\/h5>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In 1655, after an earthquake, the temple was completely destroyed, but something happened that the devotees considered miraculous: the wall on which the Christ was painted was left completely intact.\n\n<\/h5>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

After several failed attempts by the authorities to remove the mural because they considered it outside religious norms, the faithful of Christ managed to rebuild a temple, which was inaugurated in 1671. However, in 1687 this place suffered the same fate as the previous one.: It suffered a strong earthquake in which, incredibly, only the mural in which the Christ was found survived.\n\n<\/h5>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

After this surprising event, the believers went out to march with a copy of the mural, a procession that began a great tradition and is currently considered one of the largest in the world.\n\n<\/h5>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

After the second earthquake, what is currently the home of the famous painting was built: the Sanctuary of the Nazarenas, in the center of Lima. Every October thousands of people from all over the world come here to see the departure of the Lord of Miracles from the church and his subsequent procession.\n\n<\/h5>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
