ICONOGRAPHY

Christ, in the way of the Calvary, falls for the third time and, looking to some women who cried, He told them ‘Jerusalem’s women: don’t cry for me, cry for yourselves and for your children’. The paso is formed by five figures; Jesús with the knee on the ground carrying the Cross, and two women with faces in tears, one of them carries her son in arms and in the other one a girl who gives her the hand.
