Jesus del Gran Poder, Seville, Spain


Superb carving by Juan de Mesa (circa 1620), the image of Jesus del Gran Poder (Jesus of the Great Power) is the source of a deep popular devotion in Seville. The procession of the image on the early hours of Good Friday is an impressive, silent demostration of faith.
