Saludo sa Pilipino ang Mundo : Salamat ! Manny Pacquiao

Ang pagiging humble ni Manny Pacquiao ang aking hinahangaan. Kung mapapansin natin na lumalabas ang sukdol ng kanyang kagalingan kapag siya ay nasasaktan gaya ng mga jabs sa kanya ni Cotto noong round one. Ganyan ang Pilipino. Mabuhay ka Manny Pacquiao !

Reredos at San Juan Capistrano Mission Basilica

Laarni of Southern California noted the Franciscan character of the San Juan Capistrano Mission Basilica as reflected in the "retableau" and the retablos of the also Francsican built San Ildefonso de Toledo in Tanay Rizal Philippines.

San Francsico de Asis sa Tanay

Dahil ngayon ang Pista ng San Francsico de Asis, hinanap ko ang imahen niys sa Retablo ng Simbahan ng San Ildefonso de Toledo, mapapos magsimba doon. Nagtanong ako sa isang sacristan pero hindi daw niya alam. Ang hinahanap ko ay ang imagen ni San Francsico ma may ibon malapit sa kamay niya gaya ng nakikita ko sa iba. Hindi ko naman makita ang pangalan niya dahil may bagong ilaw na inilagay sa mga imahen na nakakatakip sa mga pangalan ng santo. Pero hindi maaarin wala dito si San Francsico dahil ang simbahan na ito at itinayo ng mga Paring Fransicano, di ba? Ka ya matapos ang misa at itinanong k kay Father Felix at baka alam niya, nguni't hindi rin daw niya napapansin kung meron. Kaya inisa isa ako ang mga Santo sa Panginahing Retablo at nakita ko sa likod ng bagong ilaw ang "San Francisco". Nasa Unang helera sya sa gawing kanan mula sa gitna ng Altar.

Nangungulika ako sa dating kulay ng retablo. Ang alam ko kasi na bilang "National Treasure", ano mang pagbabago ay nagdadaan ng pagsusuri ng NCCA at Pampansang Museo. Pero paanong magiging ginto ang buong poste samtalang sa mga original na arkitectura ay kumakatawan sila sa bato? Yung mga embelismo ay maaring ginto pero marahil hindi ang buong poste. Namimiss ko rin ang Marian Blue na kulay sa mga bandeha tulad ng lumang kulay sa gilid na retablo na hindi na nila nababago. Sayang, pero opinyon ko lang naman po ito.

Maligayang kaarawan sa inyo Ma'm Mely. Waalang kupas po ang siglang naging inspirasyong ibinibigay ninyo sa amin. Salamat po na kayo ay nakatingala ng magpaulan ng kagandahan ang Diyos at nagpakumbaba po kayong tumungo sa aming kapilyuhan,kalikutan at pagiging pasaway hanggang matuto rin kaming tumingala upang makita ang liwanag ng Panginoon. Maligayang Pagbati Po !

Plan of the Basilica with Numbers indicating where Fr. Cris took the photos



Photo #4 of Fr. Cris in front of the Basilica




Photo #1 shows the front of Jesus' Tomb.




Photo #2 was taken at the side of the tomb.




Photo #3 was taken at what is shown in plan as the Altar of Mary Magdelene.




A cross section of the Basilica showing the original rock formation of the tomb where Jesus was buried and Golgotha where the Lord was crucified.




Panoramic view of the Basilica, which is the far view of Fr. Cris Photo #4.

The Architecture of the Iglesia del Santo Sepulcro in Jerusalem has a touch of "Ottoman Barouque" as evident in the slightly pointed arches.

These photos of Fr. Cris will enrich the archives of our group site. Salamat po ulit.
