Bust of St John of God
On 11 October 2018, the President of the Excelentísimo Colegio de Enfermería de Sevilla (Spain), José María RUEDA SEGURA, and the members of the Board of Directors, travelled to the General Curia in Rome to donate a bust of St John of God by the Cordoba sculptor, Alfonso CASTELLANO TAMARIT (1983), to the Prior General, Brother Jesús ETAYO ARRONDO.
This sculptor of religious images applies gilding and polychrome techniques, as an outstanding artist in the field of religious sculpture, famed for his polychrome works and finishes in the best baroque tradition, with oil ‘velatura’ creating the impression of a soft and delicate model which elevates the category and dignity of his creation.
“THE MOST EXCELLENT COLLEGE OF NURSING OF SEVILLE
to
THE HOSPITALLER ORDER OF ST JOHN OF GOD,
As an enduring tribute to the Legacy of the Patron Saint of Nursing,
Saint John of God, at the service of the Sick, and with the gratitude of
All the Nurses of Seville to
The Brothers and to their Order
For their Charism and their praiseworthy service throughout the World
12 October, 2018”
The Prior General expressed his thanks for this gesture, which further strengthens the bonds of friendship, support and cooperation that exist between the Hospitaller Order and the Seville College of Nursing and its members, which also enhances the visibility of St John of God and the esteem and gratitude paid of those who celebrate him as the Patron Saint of Nurses.
