Ermita del Santo Cristo de la Sangre - Pedrera, Sevilla, España - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

"Consta de una sola nave con contrafuertes exteriores y cabecera poligonal a la que se adosa un camarín tras un retablo neogótico en el que se encuentra el Santísimo Cristo de la Sangre.

Es del siglo XVI, y aunque no tenga grandes méritos artísticos, existe una gran devoción de la población. Presenta un perfecto estado de conservación. Fue reformada en el siglo XVIII.

Según cuenta la leyenda, este Cristo de la Sangre pasaba por el pueblo camino de Antequera procedente de Sevilla, en donde había sido hecho en pasta. Al pasar por donde hoy tiene su ermita, la carreta que era transportada por bueyes se «atrancó y tuvimos que hacerle la casa porque no quería irse de este pueblo».

"It consists of a single nave with exterior buttresses and a polygonal head to which a dressing room is attached behind a neo-Gothic altarpiece in which the Holy Christ of the Blood is located.

It is from the 16th century, and although it does not have great artistic merits, there is great devotion among the population. It is in a perfect state of conservation. It was renovated in the 18th century.

According to legend, this Christ of the Blood passed through the town on the way to Antequera from Seville, where it had been made into pasta. When passing by where his hermitage is today, the cart that was transported by oxen "stuck and we had to make a house for him because he did not want to leave this town."
