Spanish school of the 18th century. Saint Raymond Nonnatus. Carved and polychrome wood sculpture. Mercedarian saint from the 13th century who was dedicated to the redemption of Christian captives from Muslim hands in North Africa. It responds iconographically to the typical representation of the Mercedarian that has been made. Legend has it that San Ramón Nonato was prevented from preaching the gospel by infidels. With his left hand he holds the monstrance that refers to the fact that it is traditionally said that he received Holy Communion on his deathbed from the hands of Christ himself. 94 x 38 x 32 cm.
