Christ of San Xoán de Furelos

Curiosity · Melide, Terra de Melide, A Coruña

A carving of the crucified Christ that presides over the altar of the church at Furelos with its right hand unnailed and reaching out towards the viewer; popular reading sees in the gesture a Christ who, even in his agony, leans towards whoever looks at him.
