Habit

Matte black tunic, simple workmanship. It is attached to the waist by means of a white cotton cord or cincture. The first year it was girded by a matte white band, passing in the posterior ones to the girdle. The hood goes unarmed. The reason for this was to give greater austerity, if possible, to the Holy Image of Christ and for the primitive idea of transporting it on a litter, so as not to hinder its visibility. It is the same material as the tunic. It is hand-embroidered in white thread with the parochial coat of arms or emblem, that is, a crowned cross on the front at the height of the chest. The hooded suit is completed with the traditional white gloves. All the costumes that accompany the Holy Christ are the same, without any distinction. To highlight something of him, the simplicity and austerity.
