Santo Cristo de las Ampollas (The Christ of the Blisters) is located in a side (but prominent) chaple in Merida's Catedral on the main square. The Catedral itself was built from material taken from a Mayan pyramid originally standing there. The Christ of the Blisters is not the saint of backpackers and their blisters. The statue made of black wood was the only thing surviving from a burning church in Izamal, which was proclaimed a miracle. The wood was blistered, but othervise unhurt, so Meridians took the only surviving object from Izamal as well and dedicated it a shrine in Merida.

Socha Santo Cristo de las Ampollas (Ježíš s puchýři) je v boční, ale prominentní kapli hlavní katedrály v Meridě. Katerdrálu postavili Španělé z kamene z majské pyramidy kterou za tím účelem rozvalili.

Ježíš s puchýři není svatým těch co chodí v malých botech. Jeho socha je jediné co se zachovalo po požáru kostela v Izamal, dřevo zpuchýřované, ale jinak neporušené. Merida to prohlásila za zázrak a sebrala chudáků s vyhořelým kostelem i tu poslední sochu.
