The paint is completely intact on this retablo. Description: The devotion derives from Atocha, Spain. The legend states that during the Moorish occupation of Spain, the Moors prohibited anyone other than children from visiting Christians in prison. One day a child dressed as a pilgrim visited the prison, carrying a staff, a basket of food, and a flask of water. After he distributed food and water to the prisoners, the basket and flask were still full. It was understood that this was a miraculous visit from the Christ child. The painting shows the traditional iconography of the Santo Niño. The child is sitting on a chair. He wears a hat. In his outstretched right hand he holds a basket, in his outstretched left hand he holds a pilgrim’s staff. A vase of flowers is placed on either side. The painting is in a modern red frame.
