Procession à Lima. L'influence de l'église catholique est encore très forte au Pérou, et les processions attirent encore nombre de fidèles. Parmi les membres de la confrérie qui portent la statue, on remarque quelques métis, probablement descendants d'esclaves. Et le moucharabieh à l'arrière-plan (un dispositif permettant d'observer sans être vu, de l'arabe machrabiyyah) rappelle que l'héritage espagnol a transporté au Pérou bien des éléments arabes.
