\n\u201cMy most holy Father, rescue us from the power of death, through your shed blood!\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The story goes that the miracle occurred almost immediately: the plague began to subside until it disappeared completely. From that day forward, the image was known as the \u201cLord of the Rescue\u201d and occupies a place of honor in the Temple of San Francisco.<\/p>\n
The Image: A Canvas, Not a Sculpture<\/b> Unlike other Christ figures in the region that are made of cornstalk paste, the Lord of the Ransom is a 16th-century oil painting on canvas. The painting depicts the biblical moment when Jesus of Nazareth is arrested by soldiers, while his Mother watches, suffering martyrdom. It is a historical piece in the colonial art collection of the former Convent of Santa Ana.<\/p>\n
The Festival and the Pilgrimage<\/b> The celebration is an explosion of faith and culture that transforms Tzintzuntzan:<\/p>\n\n- \n

Music in the Olive Groves:<\/b> The centuries-old atrium, under the shade of the olive trees planted by Don Vasco, becomes an open-air auditorium where orchestras and wind bands play traditional tunes, folk songs, and waltzes throughout the day.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Dances:<\/b> Traditional dances are presented, highlighting the performance of the Dance of the Lord of the Rescue<\/b>, in addition to sporting events and a popular fair.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
