White Americans always believe they are are authority in every subject. Obviously, the author of this video has no knowledge of the Black Christ of Portobelo.There are statues of Christ in black all over this world. Only a fool would think that candles made a statue turn black.Original Anglo feartures? Please! American soldiers did not discover El Cristo Negro de Portobelo.

Aqui lo mas valioso es la idea y el documental en general. Talvez jamas sabremos la verdadera Historia del Cristo Negro de Portobello, pero Algo si podemos decir que Nuestro Pais esta lleno de Maravillas que No valoramos hasta que Imigramos a otro Pais Lejano. Desde Miami, FL. Un Panameno que siempre representa a su Patria...

It is beautiful video and very informative. Thanks, my country is special because of the people. God bless us and them and the whole world.

The statue is made of black Cocobolo.

This guy is actually wrong when he says that the statue dates back in the 1800. El Nazareno arrived in Portobelo around 1658.

I'm not sure either about the candles making it black!

[VaBango]

I don't know if it was the 'candle' that made him black, though...

Portobelo, my Home!
