The Crucifixion of Jesus Christ was an important embroidery project for any Roman Catholic woman, young and old. It was hardly ever purchased, as its production was an act of devotion. The fact that this was kept for a long time meant that it was made by a female member of the Paterno family. It could have been made by Doña Luisa Piñeyro de Lugo y Merino, Sra. de Paterno; or by Don Pedro Paterno’s mother, Doña Carmen Devera Ygnacio y Pineda; or by Pedro’s full sisters Agueda, Dolores, Jacoba, Paz, and Trinidad; or his younger half–sisters Concepcion and Adelaida. (Augusto M.R. Gonzalez III)
