Church
Basílica de Jesús del Gran Poder
Pl. S. Lorenzo, 13, Casco Antiguo, 41002 Sevilla
Baroque carving of Christ staggering beneath the cross, its right heel worn smooth by centuries of devotional kisses.
This guide to the Basilica de Jesus del Gran Poder in Seville opens in a 1930s archive, where a historian chasing an old contract overturns three centuries of belief about who carved the church's revered image of Christ staggering under the cross. It introduces the sculptor Juan de Mesa, once overshadowed by his own teacher, and the devotional details worshippers still return to touch. You'll also hear about the Good Friday procession that carries the figure through Seville's streets before dawn.
