The City of Cehegín has given a Christ Crucified property to participate in the exhibition "In intimate prayer ', which runs until December 1 in the monumental complex of San Juan de Dios de Murcia and is organized by the Ministry Education, Culture and Universities through the Directorate General for Cultural Property.
The Crucified, listed Andalusian school of the nineteenth century, has an academic size and matches the theme of the exhibition, which brings together a number of small images that belong to private collections and that once were made to be venerated in family inside the home, in the field of special devotion oratorios.
