Jesus Nazarene of the Rescue is an image whose authorship is attributed to sculptor Mateo de Zuniga in the 17th century. Initially, this image was venerated in the religious convent of the Discalced Carmelite Nuns of Saint Therese, in what is today known as Antigua Guatemala. Oral tradition through the years relates that the Miraculous Image of Jesus Nazarene Carmelita was called of the Rescue, because the nuns found themselves in many economic hardships for their multiple charity services on different occasions, which forced them to pawn the Image to moneylenders. When the terms for the payment of the loans expired, the Nuns did not have money to recover it but pious people always paid what was owed, and the pawnshop returned the Image to the convent. It has been said that the name of those who paid the debts were never known, taking this as miracles for what they call the image Jesus Nazarene of the Rescue. Holy Week is the celebration of the passion and death of Christ, through the processions carried by the brotherhoods of all parishes nationwide, during the period between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday, usually at the end of March and beginning of April annually. Processions are characterized by colorful sawdust carpets that adorn the streets, and religious images carried on shoulders by large congregations, for periods of up to eighteen hours in large carriers. The Covid-19 Pandemic forced the suspension of processions for two years.
