Sto. Cristo Del Perdon


On November 23, 1954, a new decree of the Crusade was issued-from Crusade of Charity and Goodwill, it was renamed to Crusade of Penance and Charity. The image of the Santo Cristo del Perdon was added to accompany the procession to inspire repentance of sins and renewal of life among the people. Seven Caballeros de Cristo were appointed. Processions of the Crusade were accompanied by seven symbolical lanterns. The Caballeros de Cristo took turns in carrying the image of the Crucified Christ. Number seven was again chosen by the Bishop to signify the seven Archangels who adore the Triune God.
