Description: The author explains the origin of the enormous wooden Christ that every year goes out in a massive procession through the streets and that, with its miracles, fills with meaning the life of the peasants, of the merchants and, above all, of the humblest inhabitants of the towns and cities of the Alto Marañón. "With the rapid advance of capitalism and the destruction of values, popular religiosity is disappearing. The icon of the Holy Christ of Huamantanga represents an ideological and spiritual movement that maintains the vision and hope of the people of Jaén regarding social justice and a better world. To keep the popular religiosity means to keep the spiritual identity of Jaen, while also helps to preserve to maintain the rich traditions of austerity, collective work and brotherhood." (HKB Translation) -Page 33.
