The Lord of Miracles (in Spanish: Señor de los Milagros), also known as " Christ of Miracles", is a Roman Catholic title of Jesus Christ that is associated with a painting of Christ crucified venerated in Lima, Peru.^[1] The image was painted during the 17th century by Benito or Pedro Dalcon, an African taken from what is now Angola to Peru as a slave. An annual procession commemorating the image occurs every October. It is one of the oldest Catholic traditions in Peru. It is one of the largest religious processions in the world.^[2]
