The image of ‘El Divino Cautivo’ is a complete carving, natural size, made of walnut wood, signed by Mariano Benlliure in 1944. It represents Our Sir, prisoner over Caiaphas’ Tribunal, the King made defendant: Ego Sum Rex (I am the King). He is wearing a carved dawn. He has not any tunic but three games of powers.  

‘El Divino Cautivo’, straight His head, tied His hands, serene and deep His glance, that rivets everyone who contemplates Him. Many people say that when they see Him in the streets, in Holy Week, they feel their own hair to stand on end because they notice He is looking at everyone from the top of His religious float.  

The Brotherhood as well as the Escolapian Community defrayed the costs of the Image. Afterwards, the artist himself reimbursed a share of those costs. The sketch in terracotta, used by Benlliure to prepare the final carving, is displayed at the Holy Week Museum of Orihuela (Alicante).  

Our Sir is represented as a man around 1.80 metres height, very strong, broad-chested and shouldered, muscular arms and hands, characteristic of a person who has been working as a carpenter for many years. Long hair and beard, according to the syriac tradition, long and semitic nose. Bright eyes of impressive depth and serenity that attract people who are looking at them.

The religious float, on which the Image processes, forms an authentic altarpiece made of carved and polychrome wood portraying the scenes of the Way of the Cross. Overhead the float, a pedestal of octogonal shape sticks up, surrounded by different stages depicting the Passion and the Tetramorphos, that is, the representatives figures of the four Evangelists. Four big golden lanterns illuminate the Image at nightfall.
