Templo del Señor de los Rayos, Modern Catholic church in Aguascalientes, Mexico

The Templo del Señor de los Rayos is a Catholic church in the Barrio de Guadalupe of Aguascalientes, next to the Panteón de la Cruz and the Panteón de Los Ángeles. Its modernist facade, designed by architect Francisco Aguayo Mora with sculptures by Guillermo González, features a central V-shaped support, a crucifix, an eye, hands with stigmata, wounded feet, a stylized cross, a bleeding heart and a crown of thorns at the top. The interior is wide, with a stylized Stations of the Cross along the sides and an image of the Señor de los Rayos on the altar.

The facade was built between 1956 and 1957, making it the first modern-style church in Aguascalientes. The image of Christ came from Temastián, Jalisco, and was first placed in the cemetery crypt; as devotion grew, a chapel was built that later became this temple. The sculpted portico was added about 11 years after the facade, which was initially flat.

The name honours a Christ image brought from Temastián, Jalisco, which devotees credit with miracles; it first stood in the cemetery crypt before a chapel and then this temple were built for it. Bishop Salvador Quezada Limón read the facade's central V as Christ's victory, with an eye, wounded hands and feet, a stylised cross, a bleeding heart and a crown of thorns above.

The temple stands in the Barrio de Guadalupe, beside the Panteón de la Cruz and the Panteón de Los Ángeles. The sculpted portada faces the street, so the facade can be studied from outside; the interior holds a stylized Stations of the Cross along the side walls and the image of the Señor de los Rayos on the altar.

The facade features a distinctive crown of thorns at its peak, with stigmata imagery and a bleeding heart integrated into the design. These visual symbols tell a story of suffering and redemption in a way that bridges modern art with religious tradition.
