So, you have a major drawing of Jesus, a major symbol of the most popular religion in the world. It's very old and important, with lots of value to the Sanctuary of Mercy Church, and has is very damaged. Suddenly, an elderly woman approaches with a mediocre drawing, which is meant to be a restoration of the famous painting. The elderly woman (anonymous) desecrated an old painting by Elias Garcia Martinez when she tried repainting the image by brush.
The elderly woman took a highly valued painting and ruined it. Although with best intentions, restorations should be done by professionals with plenty of training and experience. Once the painting is damaged as it was in this story, the damage cannot be undone. How an elderly woman could have easily taken the painting and ruined it, I don't know, but there should be added precautions to protect paintings as valued as Elias' painting of Ecce Homo. The painting now resembles a "crayon sketch of a very hairy monkey in an ill-fitting tunic" If someone were to take a highly valued piece of art from your community and desecrate it in an attempt to "restore" it, how would you react?
