"José Luis Sánchez del Río"
Exclusive Restored Photograph
José Luis Sánchez del Río (March 28, 1913 - February 10, 1928) was a Mexican Cristero who was killed by government officials because he refused to renounce his Catholic faith. The Cristeros were a popular uprising against the Mexican government's attempt to destroy the Catholic Church in Mexico in order to advance godless socialism.
The courage and conviction of Jose can hardly be overstated. Captured in a skirmish between the Cristoros and federal troops, he was ordered to renounce his faith in Christ. He refused. The authorities forced him to watch the hanging of another Cristero, but José, instead of renouncing his faith, encouraged the man, saying that they would soon meet again in Heaven after death. The police tortured him in terrible, agonizing ways, but still, he would not turn agonist Christ. Shortly before he died, he shouted, "I will never give in. Viva Cristo Rey!"
He was canonized in 2016. He is a Patron Saint of persecuted Christians and children & adolescents.
We hope this restored photo of Jose, like all the ones we offer in our series, lets you be closer to the Saint, and thus closer to Jesus!
** IMPORTANT ** IMAGE IS SMALLER THAN THE PAPER!! There is a white border around the image! .5" for 5x7, 1.3" for 8.5x11, 1.6" for 11x14". This is the normal way fine art printers do their prints, and it gives the print a finished look when framed without a matt.
- Acid-free fine art paper.
- Archival pigments, rated to last for generations.
- Cardboard backer
- Above story of the art
- Enclosed in a tight-fitting, crystal clear bag.
