Christ, Basilica, Santa Maria monastery, Montserrat
Statue of Christ in the Basilica of the Benedictine Abbey Santa Maria de Montserrat, Montserrat, Catalonia, Spain. Hermit monks first settled on the sacred mountain of Montserrat in 900 AD and the monastery was founded in 1025. It was destroyed in 1811 during the Napoleonic wars and rebuilt, along with the basilica, in 1850. This statue of Christ at the crucifixion is in one of the chapels in the basilica. The black Madonna, or La Moroneta, is also housed in a side chapel and is visited by pilgrims from across the world. Picture by Manuel Cohen
