On the small hill that crowns the archaeological site Ojo Zarco, rests a caravaca cross whose manufacture dates back to the early nineteenth century. The cross is lowered every year to the Montañez Community, as part of the celebrations that make up the Stations of the Cross during Holy Week.
In 2010, accompanied by the master archaeologist Luis Felipe Nieto, the social entrepreneur Don Pedro Mayer and the organization El Tequio, work was carried out -hand in hand with the community- for the conservation of the cross, as well as forest maintenance and removal of paxtle in the gardens surrounding the Montañez chapel.
The wood conservation process consisted of the application of linseed oil, a material necessary for the hydration of the wood and as a means to prevent it from continuing to splinter.
