Nuestro Padre Jesus del Gran Poder on his float ready to Easter processions, Seville, Spain, 2006


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.
