HISTORY:

The story goes that in the mid-seventeenth century a poor mulatto

painted the Christ crucified cloth wall Pachamilla within the midden,

an area where blacks were grouped Angolans living in absolute

poverty.

The November 13, 1655, at 2:45 pm there was a terrible earthquake

in Lima and Callao, knocking down churches, mansions burying

leaving thousands dead and homeless.

All walls of the guild collapsed except the weak adobe wall in which

the image of Jesus was painted. The image remained intact with no

cracking.

The image attracted lot of worshipers, with its songs and dances

semipaganos scandalized the political and religious authorities, the

Viceroy ordered the destruction of the image. When you climb a

ladder to clear painter, he began to feel tremors and chills and had

to be attended to immediately to continue its work. Then tried

again to climb but it was that caused such impression and walked

swiftly down scared of the place without finishing the task at hand.

A second man, a soldier Balcazar, of milder mood, but went down

quickly, then explaining that when he stood before the image he

saw that he became more beautiful and the crown was turning

green; for that reason did not meet the order given. At the

insistence of the authorities off the picture, people expressed

disgust and began to protest with angry voices and threatening

attitudes that drove them off to the party. The order was revoked

and it was agreed that there veneration surrender to the powerful

image.

knocked part of the chapel that had been built in honor of the

image of Christ. Feet leaving only the adobe wall with the image of

the Crucified Christ. This was admitted by the Church and its

worship was consecrated.

The spread of the cult

contributed effort Antonia

Lucia of the Holy Spirit,

Servant of God. She was

dressed in purple with a

white cord. He founded the

Beguine of the Nazarenes

and the congregation

dressed like her. They dedicated, among other duties, to

preserve the image of Pachacamilla. Thus, little by little, he was

associating purple outfit the Lord of Miracles. Unfortunately

Antonia left her address and founded another beaterio called the

Beguine Monserrate known as The Nazarene Institute, which

only worked 17 years for lack of permits.

He ended up taking a room next to the chapel of Our Lord of

Miracles where their pious guarded the effigy. This feature is

very internalized in Peruvian culture, so much so that to October,

is called the "purple month" and together with mass processions

is common to see devotees who wear the habit throughout the

month.

It is also customary that Alianza Lima, one of the most popular

Peruvian soccer teams, changed the traditional blue uniform for

the fervent purple during all his matches in October.
