This
sculpture of Jesus was restored shortly before Easter. One night,
at 10:00 PM, Padre Santiago, who is the only priest in Amatitlan,
asked me to drive with him to the city (which is an hour away) to
bring back the image. It was so big, that we had to open the windows
to fit it into the car. It was late that night, when we came back
to the village. We took the heavy image to the sacristy, and this
photograph was taken on that chilly night.
I would
like to mention that Padre Santiago Rojas got the $ 17,000.00 pesos
from the Vatican.
Thanks
to this money and the effort of the women, they now have a different
perspective on their lives. He is the person who has encouraged
them to carry on with their projects.
