Christ of Mercy

Crucifixion in polychrome wood from the end of the 16th century. Sculpted by Domingo Beltrán, a Jesuit from Vitoria and representative of Romanism. It was made for the Jesuit Church of San Esteban (Murcia), which in the 19th century became a House of Mercy, hence its current vocation. It is venerated in the neighbouring parish church of San Miguel, and is co-owner of a Holy Week brotherhood, founded in 1948, which makes a procession on Good Friday night.
