The Spanish parishioner who made headlines around the world for her botched restoration of a prized Jesus Christ fresco has died aged 94. Cecilia Giménez, an elderly woman from Borja, northeast Spain, became famous 13 years ago after she attempted to restore the century-old painting titled Ecce Homo that was held in her local church. Giménez's restoration went viral and earned the nickname "Monkey Christ", because of Christ's head resembling a hairy monkey. The 94-year-old's death was confirmed by Borja's mayor, Eduardo Arilla, in a Facebook post, in which he recognised her as a "great lover of painting from a young age".
