Mysterious Note Discovered Inside The Bum Of An Ancient Jesus Statue. Photos

A mysterious hand-written note was found hidden up the bum of an 18th century statue of Jesus Christ in Spain. The message written carefully in calligraphy message dating back to 1777,  had been put stuffed up the Messiah’s backside by a priest preserving it like a time capsule.

It contains key information about the period and details on popular pastimes, the economic situation, political and religious matters, famous people, and other topics.

The document is signed by Joaquin Minguez, priest of the cathedral of Burgo de Osma at the time, and was recently unearthed by workers of the restoration company Da Vinci Restauro.

Today, the wooden statue is kept at the church of Santa Agueda in the village of Sotillo de la Ribera in the northern Spanish province of Burgos.

The document, carefully-handwritten on both sides of two pages, was found when restorers removed a piece of fabric used to cover Christ’s behind which exposed a small gap.

Local historian Efren Arroyo was overwhelmed by the discovery: “It is amazing, because it really is unique to find hidden handwritten documents inside such statues.”
