Resumen
UGALDE ROMO, Diana. The Recovery of the Cristo divino preso (Christ, Divine Prisoner) from Bracho in Zacatecas (Mexico). Intervención (Méx. DF) [online]. 2014, vol.5, n.10, pp.47-53. ISSN 2007-249X.
Almost one year after the polychrome sculpture of Cristo divino preso (Christ, Divine Prisoner) got stolen, it was returned to its place of origin, La Capilla de San Juan Bautista (Saint John the Baptist Chapel), in Bracho, Zacatecas, Mexico. Its return operation was successful mainly because of the existence of a registration form as part of the catalogue of movable cultural heritage of religious buildings of the state. After a follow-up on the legal formalities, a conservation-restoration project was set up and carried out for the sculpture. This concluded with actions of preventive conservation and awareness-raising directed towards the members of the Bracho community. This GALLERY reports the incidents of the case, reaffirming the importance of registration and cataloguing of cultural property as key requirements for its preservation.
