Santa Ana Zegache, interior

Here are photos from the interior of Santa Ana Zegache church being restored through the Rodolfo Morales Foundation.


The pain and angst on this woman's face intrigues me.

This saint must have a splitting headache. Does anybody know who he is?



There are several images of Our Lady of Guadalupe but only one of Juan Diego with the image on his shirt.


This little guy caught my eye.










The paintings adorning the interior were done with natural pigments and are being restored with the same.
The church has few windows, so to bring in light, mirrors are placed strategically to reflect light. The mirrors are about 10-inches wide by 12-inches high with varying frames.

  1. Sucks to be a saint. He's praying for ibuprofen. I have Jon run a search for saints with axes in the head. The saint with the lavender veil reminds me of a doll from mom's house.
