(The Powerful Hand)
This retablo depicts the right hand of God with fingers and thumb outstretched. The palm, with its stigmata, faces toward the viewer. The figures at the top represent Christ, St. Joseph, the Virgin Mary, and her parents, St. Joachim and St. Anne. All these figures are in their traditional garments and are holding their identifying emblems. Below are the tools of the crucifixion: a bowl to catch Jesus' blood, a spear, a hammer, nails, and a crown of thorns.
