Iglesia San Agustín, Chile

Reconstruction: Julio Lepe Iglesia de San Agustín — Our Lady of Grace, commonly known as Church of St Augustine or Templo de San Agustín,[1] is owned by the Order of Saint Augustine.

It is a Catholic church, located at the southeast corner of Agustinas and Estado streets, in downtown Santiago, Chile.

According to local legend, the crown of thorns around the statue's head slipped down to its neck during the 1647 Santiago earthquake.

When someone tried to move the crown back up to the statue's head, the face of Christ began to bleed and the ground started shaking.

The main facade of the church was refronted by Fermín Vivaceta, which gave it its present Neoclassical appearance.
