THE MOST HOLY REDEEMER

The image of Jesus of Nazareth (the Holy Redeemer) ransomed by the Trinitarians reminds us of the work of redemption carried out by the Order throughout the centuries.

In every redemption, Christians—living images of God—were ransomed. On more than one occasion there were also redemptions of sacred images of the Lord, the Virgin, and the saints. In 1682, the Spanish Trinitarians ransomed and brought back from Morocco a statue of the Holy Redeemer, together with 211 Christian captives.

Just as on several occasions when captives who were rescued paid back the price of their ransom to the redeemers (if their means permitted it), in the redemption of the Image of Jesus, the Divine Redeemer, he willed to repay the price of his ransoming a hundred fold. The statue may be seen today in Madrid, Spain.

The feast of the Holy Redeemer is celebrated on October 23.
