The force of Christ's faith and devotion exudes from this panel as He kneels in prayer. I was dedicated to capturing every miniscule detail as I carved this piece, confides Javier Ramirez. I wanted to emphasize the folds of Christ's tunic and every strand of hair. Ramirez carves the panel by hand from cedar wood. He uses bronze leaf for Christ's golden halo to symbolize His divinity.
