  • Cristo Negro de Esquipulas / Black Christ of Esquipulas, Guatemala Retablo #176
    Mexican Ex Voto Paintings oil paintings were executed by multiple Mexican Artists between 1800 and 1940, which were used by many Devout Religious Followers to petition Christ and the Virgin Mary for Healing Miracles, or to express Gratitude for Acts of Divine Mercy.
  • In rural areas of Mexico, Ex Votos were commissioned paintings on a small scale and were most often created with oil paint on zinc roofing tin.
    Each Ex Voto depicted a castotrphic or traumatic Event in the Follower's or the Follower's Family Life, as well as the Saint to whom the vow was made and who assisted in granting the Miracle.
  • The Cristos Negros or Black Christs of Central America and Mexico trace their origins to the veneration of an image of Christ on a cross located in the Guatemalan town of Esquipulas, near the Honduran and Salvadoran border. This image was sculpted in 1595 in wood and over time it blackened and gained a reputation for being miraculous. Little is known of how veneration of the image was spread by clergy, although there are records of its introduction in various locations, especially in Central America, southern Mexico, central Mexico (especially in areas near Mexico City) and even as far north as New Mexico. However, a number of these images, such as the ones in Chalma, State of Mexico and Mérida, Yucatán have origin stories that do not connect the local image with that of Esquipulas. The Cristo Negro of Esquipulas remains an important symbol for Central America, with its sanctuary the most visited site in the region. On January 11, 2021, a replica of Christ of Esquipulas and his accompanying statues (Sorrowful Virgin, Mary Magdalene, and St. John Apostle) were donated to Saint Joseph Cathedral of Antigua Guatemala (a city formerly known as Santiago Knights of Guatemala and declared Humanity's Cultural Heritage by the UNESCO in 1979) eliciting an uncontainable and renewed veneration for Black Christ of Esquipulas among his followers. There are hundreds of other such images with at least local importance with Christ of Chalma attracting millions of visitors, second only to that of the Virgin of Guadalupe in Mexico. The popularity of the image continues to spread, with Central American and Mexican migrants bringing the image to the United States and Canada, founding new sanctuaries.
  • Dimensions: approx 14" x 10"
    Late 19th Century 
  • The Prayer, Name of the Devotee and a Recollection of the Event and date have long since faded from the bottom of the Ex Voto, but the style and High Artistry exhibited by the Painter would indicate Late 19th Century.
    Condition: the Zinc Panel of the Ex Voto is slightly wrinkled but still in good condition. The back of the Ex Voto is slightly rusted but not bleeded to the front. The Figural Painting is in very good condition with very little paint loss.
  • Origin is Mexico

      They’re fantastic!!!!
      Size: X-Large, Color: Multicoloured E-(5-pack)
      My clothing size is 16/18 and XL. Even though Amazon suggested a size XXL, I ordered my normal XL and they fit perfectly. The fabric for this style is 92% bamboo viscose and is amazingly soft and almost silky feeling. I had ordered a different boy short in this brand but they were 80% bamboo viscose and the fabric was significantly heavier. I returned those and ordered these.

      My favorite underwear
      Size: Medium, Color: Multicoloured C (5-pack)
      Super comfortable!! They are soft and breathable. No pinching, no shifting, and relatively invisible in skirts, pants, and loose dresses. True to size. Excellent quality, holds up well. Only thing is that the wording on the front does come off after a few washes, so you have to differentiate the front from the back of the underwear by how high the seam comes up. I almost exclusively wear this underwear now, I love it!

      Incredible Comfort
      Size: Large, Color: Multicoloured F (5-pack)
      Amazing; I’ll be ordering more. Super soft, lightweight, smooth under clothes, incredible comfort! Best underwear! I ordered these because I’m tired of underwear lines when wearing biker shorts/leggings. Other boy shorts were too long or the bottom hem too thick and both of those issues left lines around my upper leg. THESE are *just right* - perfect length and fit. No panty lines on close fitting pants, comfortable under other pants and dresses, great with jumpsuits, and fit well under slip shorts with dresses. NOTE: These take longer to dry, than similar clothes, in the dryer. No shrinking though. SIZE: I ordered these in size L and they fit perfectly. A little snug when first on but they loosened up. For reference I’m 5’4” tall, about 175#, carry my weight in my hips and backside,wear size L sweats/pajamas/loose pants, size 12 jeans.

      Full coverage and full comfort
      Size: XX-Large, Color: Multicoloured C (5-pack)
      These boyshort underwear are a dream. They’re very soft, very stretchy, and very comfortable. They do not shrink when they’re washed. They’re heavy enough to make you feel like you have something covering you for discretion, but light enough to wear under any type of fabric. I have wide hips and I’m older so I don’t have a tight perky butt anymore. Most underwear tend to either ride up on me or become very uncomfortable. These stay where you put them. And they come all the way up to your waist so that there is no panty line whatsoever. The waist line is soft and comfortably. It does not dig in. They do not ride up and drive you crazy they stay where you put them. I would recommend them to anyone young or old. I have tried so many different styles and materials to find underwear that’s actually comfortable. These are the absolute best I have tried in five years. I just threw all the rest of them out.

      Bamboo is an amazing fabric
      Size: Large, Color: Multicoloured I (5-pack)
      Comfy and soft . I’ve never worn boy shorts before so takes adjusting to. Legs roll sliding pants up but easy to adjust and smooth before zipping up then all day comfort. When I wear skirts or shorts they are perfect for that! I use to wear bike pants under skirts that don’t have to anymore. I like that they don’t creep up like regular underwear. I’m a new fan of bamboo fabric and bought briefs in bamboo as well.
