HOLY WEEK 2013

      Our Lady of the Abandoned Shrine and Parish Church is the oldest church in Marikina City which boasts of over seventy images in it's annual holy week processions during holy wednesday and good friday. Here are three of my "favorites"  because of the reason that they all seem so "real" and alive !

 

Church Sanctuaries

        I have this penchant for church altars. More than the exterior, for me it's the altar that attracts me more because this is where the circle of  our life begins and ends. From baptism to passing on, the church is a witness to all our moments in our lives both happy and sad.
