ICONOGRAPHY

It represents the moment of the third denial of Saint Peter at being recognised by a woman as Jesus’ disciple. Saint Peter on his knees opposite to Jesus, with grief face and Jesus opposite him with a face of understanding and forgiveness. The two figures are accompanied by a cock as an allegorical target to the sentence from Jesus when He said: “You will deny me before the cock crows.”

AUTHOR

It is a work by the Murcian sculptor of religious images Mr. José Antonio Hernández Navarro, who was born in Los Ramos on the 4th December 1954.

THRONE

It was realised in silver in the workshops of Mr. Ramón Orovio de la Torre, from the firm ‘Orfebrería Orobio, S.L.’ (Ciudad Real). The andas are bordered with embossed sashes composed of a tall and moved moulding that defines embossed sections, which are adorned with vegetal motives inside the Renaissance style, in which it is very typical the bulbous areas with roleos, tendrils and acanthus, among others. In the centre of the sections, they are represented the Stations of the Cross which are divided through half columns two by two. In the centre of the frontal, it is placed a niche with the image of the Apostle Saint Peter.
