1716, it was moved to another part of the church.
1794, it was moved to a mausoleum in the Hospital de Jesus, Mexico.
After the independence of Mexico, it was feared that the mausoleum would be desecrated, so his bones were hidden and lost to memory until 1947, when they were discovered and returned to the mausoleum in the Hospital de Jesus, where they still remain.
