Reliquary of St. John of the God

17th Century Spanish sculptor

17th Century Spanish sculptor - Reliquary of St. John of the God
Probably the fragment of the figure of St. John of the God (canonized in 1690) comes apparently from the circle of followers of a significant Spanish sculptor José de Mora (1642-1724). Jan has committed many an act grace during his life. He also founded a shelter in Granada that was open to all the needy and poor. His legacy was carried on by the religious order Ordo Hospitalarius Sancti loannis de Deo.
