Christ of the Good Death - Crucified Christ - Jesus on the Cross - Original oil painting - Religious art store - Religious icon - Colonial art-
Beautiful original piece of sacred art. Inspired by the devotion to the Christ of the Good Death celebrated in the city of Cusco (Peru). Its origin dates back to the 31st of May 1650 when a strong earthquake occurred in Cusco that frightened the inhabitants of the city. As an act of faith, they took the image of the Christ of the Good Death in procession and managed to stop the earth from shaking. Since then, it has been called the Christ of the Tremors, and is considered a sign of the living faith that exists in this important city.
