“Is there a king more powerful than time?” a child once asked, standing in the shadow of Church El Rey Jesús Todopoderoso. The Church El Rey Jesús Todopoderoso isn’t centuries old like some of the grand cathedrals in León. It doesn’t boast the title of “largest in Central America”. But it holds its own kind of power.
