True image of the lord of Chalma
Légende
True image of the lord of Chalma. Broadside shows a statue of the crucified Christ. On the verso, accompanying text describes a miracle performed by the Lord of Chalma. Fidencio's father, Regino Esteves, had lost his faith in Catholicism and had become a Protestant. When he found his son praying to the Lord of Chalma, he threw Fidencio into a hot stove. The text says that, despite this tragedy, the child recovered without injury. As a witness to this miracle the father converted back to Catholicism. There are also two prayers on the verso, a morning prayer to the Lord of Chalma and another prayer made by the pilgrims who are leaving the shrine and saying goodbye to the Lord of Chalma. A smaller version of the recto image is printed on the verso.
