Description: This image depicts the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. He is depicted nailed to the cross with a skull and cross bones beneath him to symbolize the place where he was crucified. There is a moon at the top right corner of the image and a sun on the right. There are two figures on the ground, the one on the left (presumably his mother, Mary) is depicted with a round halo above her head as she holds her hands together and prayer and looks to the ground. The other unidentified figure holds their hands together in prayer as they look up at Christ. The initials I.N.R.I are written above the cross which means Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum [Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews]. The caption at the bottom of the image reads, Fue crucificado por los pecados [He was crucified for the sins].
