Abstract: | The miraculous statue of Jesus the Redeemer at Senglea Basilica is an old and venerated effigy. Unfortunately, due to the lack of sound and clear documentation, it is difficult to say who made it and when. But since its arrival in Senglea the statue has undeniably exuded great charisma and attracted much devotion. Along the years, it started attracting thousands of people seeking support or solace for their needs. This led the Confraternity of the Holy Crucifix, which had been set up in 1715, to decide to build an adequate niche in its oratory, built between 1731 and 1733, for the revered statue. The niche made it possible for people to venerate the statue of the Redeemer throughout the year. Later on, a permanent altar was erected in front of the niche for the celebration of Holy Mass. |
