The Lord of Miracles (in Spanish: Señor de los Milagros), also known as "Christ of Miracles", is an image painted of Jesus Christ that is venerated in Lima, Peru. 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. This procession is one of the oldest Catholic traditions in Peru. Followed by a segment of the Catholic people, it has been around for 333 years, and is one of the largest religious processions in the world.
Its name originated in the 17 and 18th centuries, after earthquakes in 1655, 1687, and 1746 destroyed most of the city, leaving only the mural standing. This is considered a miraculous occurrence by many living there. What began as an Afro-Peruvian tradition was increasingly adopted by the Creole middle class in the 18th century after the third earthquake, which destroyed the city of Lima and much of the coast what is now the department of Lima and its provinces from Chancay to Canete.
