Jorge de Leon's gift to Manila
This was my other choice for my March theme day post: one of the stained glass windows in Malate Church depicting Jesus being baptized by John in the Jordan River with the Holy Spirit descending on Him in the form of a dove. I actually like the colors of this photo much better. A dark interior with bright daylight outside brought out the brilliant colors of the stained glass very well. Unfortunately, I do not know anything about Malate Church's windows—who the artist is or when they were created. The only thing I know about this panel is that it was donated by someone named Jorge de Leon, as it says at the bottom.

I read your blog every day like Hilda by. Thank you. Greetings.
It looks beautiful! The colours are so intense and lively and the details so precise! Thanks for posting this. All the best. Ciao. A.
That's a very nice art piece. The studio I work at has in the past done windows that were commissioned by clients that they donated to their church.
Another beautiful piece of stained glass. I'm glad you shared this one too.
It's absolutely gorgeous Hilda! The colors are so vivid and I love the dove!

Very nice. I was in Malate church last week. My friend and I were walking along the area hot and tired. We saw the church and decided to go inside and pray. I didn't notice this stained window.
It's a very beautiful stained glass windows. You shot a really framed picture.
Hi Ma'am Hilda! I love this picture! The colors really pop out. :) I have a blog too, about Metro Manila (and other places).It's over at metromanilaphotos.wordpress.com. I just started so there's not much there yet. It's so fascinating to read all these city blogs! :)
I hope you're doing well! :)

Beautiful shot! Amazing work of art.
That's a fabulous shot - stained glass is so difficult to photograph (well, it is for amateurs like me anyway!). You've captured it perfectly!
Wonderful!
