The transfer, scheduled for Tuesday, April 28, has the unanimous support of the brotherhood's general chapter of brothers and all necessary authorizations. This initiative aims to ensure the optimal preservation of the carving, which has previously undergone restoration on two occasions.
The image of the Christ, a prominent work by the Sevillian sculptor Antonio Castillo Lastrucci, was created in 1945. It is crafted from cedar wood and features rich polychromy, characteristics that make it a piece of great artistic and devotional value.
“"The Madrugada corporation remains committed to the care of its heritage."
This study is part of a series of heritage conservation actions carried out by the brotherhood. Previously, on March 13, IAPH technicians examined the set of canopies and the canopy ceiling of the Queen of Martyrs to assess their state of preservation.
It is worth noting that during Holy Week 2026, the brotherhood already displayed the splendid appearance of the mantle of the Queen of Martyrs, which had also been recently restored at the IAPH facilities, demonstrating the brotherhood's commitment to preserving its artistic legacy.
