In 2011, the Corpus Christi in La Orotava is referenced to the image of Jesus and the "XXVI World Day of Youth" that August will bring back the Pope to Spain.
La Cruz who once was given to young people to travel the world, since 2003 comes with the Icon of Mary, Salus Populi Romani express wish of John Paul II that he meant thereby the maternal presence of Mary with the young.
This icon is a reproduction of the original is in the basilica Santa Maria Maggiore, the oldest dedicated to the Virgin in the West. It is a ninth-century Byzantine painting.

3 more rectangular tapestries 7 by 8 meters:
These 3 large tapestries is the image of Jesus takes the main importance of this carpet. The image of Jesus we will present three dramatic moments of his life. The tapestry
central image of the crucifixion of Jesus, drawn from the work of Diego Velasquez, 1632. The figure of Jesus on the cross, has a halo of white light that separates it from the bottom of the sunset, to give greater expression of this timeless moment.
In the tapestry of the left, the time chosen is the scourging of Jesus, taken from the work of William-Adolphe Bouguereau, 1880.
In the tapestry of the right, the selected time is piety, extracted from the work of Annibale Carracci, 1600. These two tapestries
sides have in common the same background, is the same background as that of the central carpet but made with flat colors, creating a surreal and abstract sense, this effect is enhanced here, as in the central carpet, with the halo white light surrounding the figures. This is achieved extract images of time and remind us that this was an event that occurred, but it is also a fact that happens all the time, because man has the facility to punish and fight with intensity, unfortunately, but then we are able to rectify and regret with the same intensity.
