While doing a report on Vergós Guerrejat, population entity of the municipality of Estaràs, in the region of Segarra, I was lucky enough to be able to enter the church of Santa Maria Magdalena.
I captured this photograph of the painting on the main altar, which is full of elements, but today I am going to draw your attention to one in particular: a nail.
Yes, there is a painted nail, but will you be able to find it in this image that I am going to show you below? This is the visual challenge that I propose to you today in The Readers' Challenge of La Vanguardia. Let's play?
It's hard? Have you found the nail in the paint? No? Well, I'm going to give you a clue, since I understand that at least some help is necessary to solve this Visual Challenge.
You have to look at the part of the painting that represents the figure of Rita of Casia, who was an Italian nun and one of the most popular saints of the Catholic Church. The representative symbols of her are roses, figs and poppies. But, according to tradition, one morning in 1428, Rita received from the hands of Christ a long splinter of wood stuck in the bone of her forehead. It was a divine stigma: the mark of the crown of thorns. I just gave you a good clue to solve the game.
In any case, I'm going to give you the solution. Next, I show you the photograph again indicating where the nail is in this moral painting.
And so that nothing is harsh, I am going to show you the nail in more detail in this other photograph. I hope you liked the Challenge and that it was interesting.
