... El armazón del retablo continuó en la Iglesia hasta 1881, sufriendo grave deterioro
y pérdidas parciales por el descuido y abandono al que estuvo sometido.

what is a retablo?- answer to follow
Declined
The retablo originated in Europe and came to Peru with the Spaniards in the early 16th century. Originally they were small highly decorated wooden boxes with complex Christian-theme images inside (Nativities, Crucifixion, Last Supper). They were carried by priests and used as travelling altars, hence the name "Altar Box". Initially they were promoted by the priests as magic boxes which could protect the bearer from evil. However, as Christianity came to Peru at the point of a sword (see Religious Crafts) Indians used their display in their homes as "proof" that the inhabitants had embraced the Spanish religion. In actual practice, however, the Indians used them as symbols of resistance to Christian suppression. At night they would make secret offerings to their ancient Inca Gods by placing Coca leaves, liquor, animal hair, and fruit around the box. In this fashion, they paid lip service to the new Christianity in Public, while maintaining their old traditions in private. Today, 500 years after arriving in the Americas, the retablo is no longer is a symbol of rebellion. It has evolved into a unique art form which reflects all aspects of modern Peruvian life and beliefs.
