Below the image is the formula of indulgences and, in the upper cartouche, the Latin legend "Populum tuum alonensem ad servandam faciem tuam electum protege Domine". The relic of the Holy Face reached Alicante at the end of the 15th century and its pilgrimage is still the city's principal festival.
