The move was white, with columns and ornaments in gold, and small brackets with symbols and attributes. A few years later added the canopy located behind the figure of Herod, and the garments of the Jews and an embroidered tunic for the Lord.
All that remains now is the image of Christ, commissioned in 1698 to the workshop of Pedro Roldán, just a year before the death of teacher. In the front we see two beautiful archangels, whose implementation was due to the sculptor Benito de Hita and Castle in 1763, carrying the candles that illuminate the Lord although in the first photo are placed differently.
