CrucifixCrucifixThe pastor of the
church in 2005, Don Xavier, was an acquaintance of the artist during
the latter's lifetime. He explained that the Bernardine sun behind the
cross and the downward reach of the figure were meant to make visual
the theology of the crucifixion and to emphasize Christ's concern for
pilgrims. (Furelos is on the Ruta Francés, the major pilgrimage
route to Santiago de Compostela.)
