Jesus on the cross and the Arma Christi (Instruments of the Passion of Christ) - this is one of the several side altars of the Parish Church of Santiago (Saint James), in Tavira. A trained eye may notice that these Arma Christi (middle image) have a vaguely similar style to that of the Arma Christi of the Hermitage of the Calvary, also in Tavira (well, technically, it's located on the outskirts of Tavira) - I would not be surprised if both had been painted by the same artist, whose name remains a mistery.

I) Saint Lucia (?), the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and Saint Sebastian;

II) Saint Anthony of Lisbon/Padua, Our Lady of Fátima, and Madonna and Child.

The Altar of Saint Joseph in St. Peter’s Basilica, which before 1963 was dedicated to the Crucifixion of Saint Peter. (It is the altar closest to the traditional site of his martyrdom.) Beneath the altar lie the relics of the Apostles Saint Jude and Saint Simon.
