  • WHAT is the LORD of the MIRACLES?
  • Peru's Lord of Miracles (Señor de los Milagros or Cristo Moreno) is a revered Catholic devotion and painting of crucified Jesus Christ housed in Lima, Peru. [1, 2]

    The History and Origin
    • The Creator: An enslaved man from Angola painted the image on a humble adobe wall in the Pachacamilla neighborhood of Lima in the 1650s. [1, 2, 3]
    • The Miracles: A massive earthquake in 1655 destroyed the surrounding neighborhood, yet the wall with the image of Christ remained standing. Subsequent earthquakes in 1687 and 1746 also left the mural undamaged, and early attempts to paint over or erase it failed. [1, 2]
    • Cultural Status: It is recognized as part of the Cultural Heritage of Peru and stands as one of the largest religious processions in the world. [1]
