The devotion that worshippers have for the Señor de los Milagros began after an earthquake in 1655 in Lima, Peru. One of the few things that remained standing after the earthquake was a painting of Jesus Christ, which became known as the Señor de los Milagros. Since then, devotion for the painting has grown immensely, with hundreds coming to request miracles. Especially in October, worshippers gather to praise and ask for miracles from the Señor de los Milagros. The procession in Lima for the Señor de los Milagros is one of the biggest, with people accompanying the image of Jesus Christ through the streets.
