The sculptoric group is formed by four carving images, three executioners and the figure of Christ.
The paso represents the historical moment when Christ’s body, once nailed by the arms to the patibulum, is erected to the stipes by two executioners by means of a system of pulleys. Meanwhile the third executioner waits at Lord’s feet for proceeding to nail the feet to the stipes or palus.
