The Crucified Christ, better known as the Christ of Faith, is now back in the Carmelite church.
The size has returned to its position after spending three months at the Center for Restoration of the Region of Murcia.
The Director General of Cultural Assets, Francisco Giménez, the Councillor for Culture, Rosario Montero and the pastor of the Church of Carmen, Francis Pagan presented this morning the final image, which is now restored.
Treatment of the work, budgeted at € 7,000, consisted of a healing process of fumigation by anoxia, or whatever it is, as the CEO of Real Ciulturales, has been removed oxygen from the interior.
It seemed that the Christ was the worst of what we would have found.
Now is fine, very dense and strong, explained Gimenez, who added that such processes usually carries out the Ministry of Culture to the needs of religious images throughout the Region.
The Christ of Faith is a work of Mariano Benlliure and Gil (1862-1947).
Was performed in the early 40's.
This is a dramatic expressive carving, inherited from the Baroque iconography plastic.
On the other hand, when asked by reporters, the general director of Cultural Property and the Councillor for Culture have talked about the state of the Monastery of Saint Ginés de la Jara.
