The nave of a smaller church, Templo del Señor de los Trabajos facing Puebla's Parque Mariachi. TMI: It's all about the altar art work. The neighborhood named after both churches had been populated by indigenous people from Tlatelolco. The title of the Lord of Works possibly dates back to the subject of a painting executed by an unknown artist on an adobe wall around 1612. The image depicted Jesus falling under the weight of the Cross, assisted by the Cyrenian and followed by Mary, Magdalene, and Saint John. This representation was very similar to another painted on a grinding stone in the Puebla cathedral, so much so that Veytia believes both were made by the same artist. Soon, popular tradition began to attribute miracles to the image, so that the piece of wall was roofed to protect it and, later, a small chapel was built for its worship, which functioned as an open chapel. Over time, devotion increased, so that in 1784, the piece of adobe with the painting was placed in the altarpiece of the left nave. At that time, the church was incorporated into the area administered by the parish of San Marcos. It continued to be known as San Pablo de los Naturales or, more familiarly, as San Pablito. On September 11, 1856, architect José Manzo was tasked with transferring the venerated painting to the main altar, which was a technical feat. Earlier, starting in 1840, the church began to be known as the Lord of Works. The transformations the city underwent in the second half of the 19th century further altered its situation. The former Indian neighborhood of San Pablo had become closely linked to the rest of the city's layout, becoming an area of industry and a variety of crafts. The church's atrium was converted into a plaza, and in front of the plaza was the railway station that was brought about by the Porfiriato. Without giving a precise date, but probably referring to the period of the first decades of this century, of which he was the chronicler, The first decades of this century, some Spanish missionaries occupied the building for a time, Later, when the Revolution broke out, they abandoned the site. It was probably they who requested permission in 1907 to expand the church. The sacristy, with its mixed rail and Catalan vault roof, could date from this period. Starting in 1922, the church became part of the parish of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, although it is possible that it remained abandoned until 1934, the year in which the Ministry of Finance returned the church over to a neighbourhood association. The association began work to repair cracks in the vaults, completing this task in 1938. That same year, renovation work was done on the façade.
