I am posting this by request. The Black Christ is in the Catholic Church in Porto Bello Panama and during a certain holy day is paraded through the town and back to the church. No one is allowed to use flash when taking photos in the Church.
I am glad you uploaded this photograph, to show this sculpture of the black christ of porto bello.
This way we can see the influence of the roman catholic church out of europe
A wonderful shot Sharon. It really does not matter what color people see him as being as long as the believe or at least that is my opinion. This is really a wonderful image.
