In 1988, José Jiménez Lozano and José Velicia had the idea of promoting culture and sacred art through the conservation, development, protection and dissemination of the Heritage of the eleven Catholic dioceses of Castile and León. By establishing “Las Edades del Hombre” (in English The Ages of Man) in San Bernardo (Valladolid), the founders of the organization created the most important exhibition of religious art in Europe.

The exhibition “Reconciliare” in Cuéllar (Segovia) in the region of Castile and León from the 24^th of Abril until the 12^th of November is the 22^nd edition of Las Edades del Hombre and focuses on the double reality of our society: while on the one hand God’s mercy is greater than our sin, evil, division and hatred still exist.
