more outlined as they move away, until they almost merge with the background.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the clay modeling was transferred through a process of molding with silicone to resin material, which was then subjected to a light polychrome to achieve a finish in ocher tones. Also at the time of polychroming, the arrangement of the figures in planes was taken into account, giving greater intensity to the figures closer to the foreground and softening them as they fade into the background.<\/p>\n<p>BLESSING CEREMONY<\/p>\n<p>On October 28, the blessing of the new relief was celebrated at the school on the occasion of the Day of Families. Don Ram\u00f3n Herrando, regional vicar of Opus Dei in Spain, blessed it before Holy Mass. During the homily he referred to St. Josemar\u00eda and Blessed Alvaro as two instruments chosen by God to make the school, which both visited in their lifetime at its previous location, a reality.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6853\" style=\"width: 1077px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6853\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6853\" src=\"https:\/\/granda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/bendicion.jpg\" alt=\"blessing\" width=\"1067\" height=\"702\" title=\"\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-6853\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Don Ram\u00f3n Herrando during the blessing of the new image (Photograph by www.colegiolostilos.com)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In the words of the school itself \"it seems that it has always been there.
