"Execution" of the Sacred Heart by leftist militiamen at Cerro de los Ángeles near Madrid, on 7 August 1936[1], was the most famous of the widespread desecration of images and Churches.
King Alfonso XIII had consecrated the nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus at the spot on May 30, 1919. The photograph was taken by a Paramount newsreel representative and originally published in the London Daily Mail with a caption calling it part of the "Spanish Reds' war on religion."
