On the right side of the east _morada_ altar, images of two male saints reflect the intense affection felt by _penitentes_ for the Franciscan saints Anthony of Padua and John of Nepomuk. The most popular New Mexican saint, San Antonio (Figure 43), customarily carries the young Jesus, _El Santo Niño_. This image has been painted dark blue to represent the traditional Franciscan habit of New Mexico before the 1890s.[72] [Illustration: FIGURE 43. SAINT ANTHONY OF PADUA AND THE INFANT JESUS (_San Antonio y Niño_). SIZE: 43.2 centimeters high. DATE: First half of 19th century. ORIGIN: New Mexico, unidentified _santero_. LOCATION: East _morada_, right side of altar. MANUFACTURE: Carved wood, gessoed and painted with repainted head; dark blue habit; dressed in light blue cotton fabric with white border, artificial flowers.] The 14th-century saint, John of Nepomuk, Bohemia (Figure 44), is known from a legend that states he was killed by King Wenceslaus for refusing to reveal secrets of the Queen, for whom he was confessor. The story notes that, after torture, John was drowned in the Moldau River, but that his body floated all night and, in the morning, was taken to the Church of the Holy Cross of the Penitents in Prague. After the martyred chaplain was canonized in 1729, his cult spread to Rome, then Spain, and, by 1800, into New Mexico. [Illustration: FIGURE 44. SAINT JOHN OF NEPOMUK (_San Juan Nepomuceno_). SIZE: base to hat 78.7 centimeters. DATE: Second quarter of 19th century. ORIGIN: New Mexico, unidentified _santero_. LOCATION: East _morada_, right side of altar. MANUFACTURE: Carved wood, gessoed and painted; dark blue robe with white border; dressed in black hat and robe under white alblike coat; rosary.] Among the _Hispanos_, local Franciscans promoted this cult of St. John as a prognosticator and as a respecter of secrecy.[73] Due in part to this promotion, _San Juan Nepomuceno_ became a favorite of New Mexican _penitentes_. E. Boyd suggests that the image of St. John (Figure 44) may have first represented St. Francis or St. Joseph. She also notes a stylistically similar _bulto_ of St. Joseph in Colorado Springs, manufactured not long after 1825.[74] ORATORY IN SOUTH MORADA.--Turning to the south _morada_ chapel, we find numerous parallels to the earlier east _morada_ in _santo_ identities and in religious artifacts. (Figure 10 presents a previously unphotographed view of this active _penitente_ chapel with its fully equipped altar.) The walls of the west chamber of the south _morada_ are lined with benches over which hang religious prints in frames of commercial plaster and local tin work (Figure 45).
