| The Lord’s Sentencing |
With bells ringing from the convent of Our Lady of Mercy, the painting of
the Lord’s Sentencing, a gift from King Phillip II, representing Jesus being
judged, departs. This most sacred icon has the company of Our Lady of Comfort
and St. John the Apostle.

In the areas in the periphery of the city (Tiabaya and Paucarpata) there are
processions for the images of Jesus Nazarene (dating from 1700) and the Lord of
Bitterness (whom arrived in Paucarpata in 1535,) from their respective
churches.
