\"Imaginería medieval en la Semana Santa de la provincia de Palencia\"

This paper analyses the Medieval wooden sculptures representing the Crucified Christ from the province of Palencia (Spain) that are nowadays used in religious parades and other liturgical functions during the Holy Week. These works, ranging from the 13th to the 15th centuries, were never intended for this purpose, but later devotion made them suitable for it. On the one hand, this facilitated their preservation, but, on the other hand, this obscures their study, as quite often they are heavily overworked. These issues, together with their original features, are discussed in this paper, originally presented to an international conference held in Murcia in 2007. NOTICE: this offprint includes the pictures of all the sculptures discussed, which were not included in the proceedings volume.
