The Lord of Miracles, also known as the Christ of Miracles, is a painting of Jesus Christ crucified, venerated in Lima, Peru, and the focus of a major Catholic devotion. It was painted during the seventeenth century by Benito or Pedro Dalcon, an African man taken from what is now Angola to Peru as a slave. An annual procession commemorating the image takes place every October and is among the largest religious processions in the world, and the devotion is one of the oldest Catholic traditions in Peru.
