Moving the Lord

Trento, Trentino, Italy

Work in progess in the big church in Trento city, the 'Duomo'.
Statues are carefully taken down from their place in the church, carried through the big doors,
and lifted into a large truck, waiting to take them away to a restoration shop somewhere.
First Mary came out. Then... very slowly and in complete silence... Jesus!
It was a tricky job for the men. Not only were they in charge of moving the precious statues,
they were handling the Lord Jesus himself here...!
None of the men dared to look at Him. They never looked the statue in the eye, not one second.
When it was finally in the truck, the first thing they did was put a blanked over His face.
