[ESP-ENG] mi entrada a ronda del #POBphotocontest; Religión, el Nazareno de la basílica menor de Santa Inés/ my entry to the #POBphotocontest round; Religion, the Nazarene of the minor basilica of Saint Agnes.

I took the image that I present to you during Holy Week last year, during Holy Wednesday waiting for the departure of the Nazarene, where the sacred image of Christ appears with the cross on his back, that day commemorates that Jesus is judged by the Sanhedrin (court religious at the time) and condemned to crucifixion.

Every year the Nazarene goes out in procession and parishioners devoted to him gather in the church and with Christian fervor they observe the seasons of the passion and death of our Lord Jesus Christ.

In my city the procession leaves from the minor basilica of Santa Inés and travels through the streets of the historic center of the city of Cumaná. The image was carved in Spain by the artisan Antonio Pacheco, who lived in Madrid and was made in 1876 and brought to Cumaná in 1877.
