Green angel

The holy water font of the Manila Cathedral looks very well-used. I like that.

    Very interesting piece. The light certainly accentuates the sculpture's work beautifully. Thanks Hilda.

    Hello ;)

    Are there still many wooden Santos in the markets ?

    I've seen some people from Manila sell Santos on eBay.

    Greetings,

    Great image of a beautiful and quite unusual font. I have seen many, but I can't really remember anything similar.

    Excellent photo, Hilda. Interesting sculpture, too. The "angel" seems to be standing on fish...what's that all about?

    I have only ever seen little fonts holding holy water. I like the angel sculpture holding the water.

    I like it also Hilda. I like the statue too. Either your photo moved me or my eyes are just irritated but I'm suddenly overcome with this weepy feeling.

    I'm also glad the font is getting a great deal of use. The green sheen is actually fairly atractive.
