Cuaresma'08

Our Lady of Sorrows... This image is owned by the former couturier of my mother, Kuya Jojo, who passed away several years ago...


Veneration of the Dead Christ's image after Church rites...
The image above was taken from one of the popular "karo" owned by the Mayor of San Miguel... Most of the Mayor's "karos" are famous because of their majestic setting and grandeur... The height of the statues are also bigger than the physical stature of an ordinary Filipino..


This is the famed antique image of Nazareno... Unlike the one venerated in Quiapo, the color of the skin is considerably fair...

Funny how it seems but the people of San Miguel seems to flood the streets approaching to the church every Good Friday procession... I said it seems funny because most of these people are part of the so-called occassional Catholics...
