Restorers Found Handwritten Note Hidden Up Jesus Bum.photos by seunadebisi(m): 4:01am On Nov 30, 2017 |
Restorers of an 18th century statue of
Jesus Christ in Spain have found a hand-
written note hidden up his bum.
The message written carefully in calligraphy
message dating back to 1777, had been put
stuffed up the Messiah’s backside by a priest
preserving it like a time capsule.
It contains key information about the period
and details on popular pastimes, the economic
situation, political and religious matters,
famous people, and other topics.
The document is signed by Joaquin Minguez,
priest of the cathedral of Burgo de Osma at
the time, and was recently unearthed by
workers of the restoration company Da Vinci
Restauro.
Today, the wooden statue is kept at the
church of Santa Agueda in the village of
Sotillo de la Ribera in the northern Spanish
province of Burgos.
The document, carefully-handwritten on both
sides of two pages, was found when restorers
removed a piece of fabric used to cover
Christ’s behind which exposed a small gap.
Local historian Efren Arroyo was
overwhelmed by the discovery:
It is
amazing, because it really is unique to find
hidden handwritten documents inside such
statues.
As well as naming the statue’s sculptor and
including data on local information ranging
from agricultural matters to community affairs,
the document highlighted common diseases,
popular children’s games and even the names
of popular bullfighters of the time.
