Located in Cantabria, not far from the village of Garabandal, the 16th Century Church of Saint Peter (Iglesia san Pedro) at Limpias houses a life-size crucifix that has a fascinating history. In 1914, a monk of the Order of Pauline Fathers was cleaning the face of Our Lord on the crucifix whenhe was astonished to see that the eyes open and then close.

Another apparition took place soon after, when it was reported by a girl in the confessional that she saw the same thing. At first the priest hearing the confession dismissed this as the girl’s imagination, until several other penitents reported the same thing. After leaving the confessional the parish priest began to pray in front of the crucifix, but by now many of the parishoners reported thatthe figure of Our Lord was also perspiring. Several other miraculous stories have also been reported.
