Abstract

En 1640, un grupo de vecinos del barrio del Realejo, feligreses de la iglesia de San Cecilio, asentó en la plaza del Realejo Alto una cruz de piedra con la imagen del Cristo de los Favores, a la que se veneraba todo el año oficiando la función principal la festividad de la Invención de la Cruz (3 de mayo). En 1682, la cruz, la cerca de bronce que la rodeaba y los cuatro faroles que la iluminaban, situados en las esquinas, fueron trasladados al vecino Campo del Príncipe, donde esos vecinos, organizados como cofradía, continuaron tributando culto a esta imagen. In 1640, a group of neighbours from the Realejo quarter, parishioners of the church of San Cecilio, set up a stone cross in the Realejo Alto square with the image of the Cristo of the Favours, which was venerated throughout the year, the main function being held on the feast of the Invention of the Cross (3rd May). In 1682, the cross, the bronze fence that surrounded it and the four lanterns that illuminated it, located at the corners, were moved to the nearby Campo del Príncipe, where these neighbours, organised as a confraternity, continued to worship this image.
