He Lord of the Garden He will be reunited with his faithful before the end of this month. This will be during a veneration and the thanksgiving mass that will follow, scheduled for Friday afternoon, September 27, in the parish of San Francisco.
All this after the work of restoration made on the image, which remained away from the temple for more than five months, in the workshop of the restorer Ana Infante de la Torre.
It was on April 5 that the Lord of the Garden withdrew from worship, with the celebration of a foot kiss and a mass. The brotherhood announced this Sunday at the last minute the expected restoration of worship.
Between 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., the veneration of Our Father Jesus of Prayer in the Garden will take place and, from 8:00 p.m., the Holy Mass, which will be presided over by Joaquín Alberto Nieva.
At the time, the Garden’s older brother, Francisco Figuerobaexplained to ABC that the intervention was carried out to stop what the passage of time had left at a conservative level of fixation and cleaning,
Emphasis was also placed on the consolidation of small cracks and fissures, and the anchoring of the elements, the plastering of the interstices, the chromatic reintegration of the interstices in polychromy, with final protection.
The image is from second half of the 17th centuryaccording to the professor of art history Alberto Villar, who dates it to 1670 in the entourage of Pedro de Mena. Many experts link it in terms of paternity to Jesús Caído de Córdoba.
