A Moreira Altarpiece


This is an open type of shrine, with a shallow oval templete containing a stone altarpiece. Large box, with an iron door underneath the almiñas. It is crowned by an iron cross. The altarpiece is made of polychrome stone and is modern in style, possibly replacing an older one. It is presided over by a Franciscan friar holding a bonnet in his hands, and below him three souls appear among the flames in a recollected position with their hands joined in prayer, the one in the middle being a priest.
