Sacred Heart
The crucifix and monstrance which I featured yesterday belongs to one of the side chapels of the Church of the Gesù. It is called the Sacred Heart Chapel, and a stylized image of Jesus showing his pierced heart and hands is displayed prominently near the front entrance of the chapel though lit artificially because there is a small room behind it. This is a very modern representation of the traditional image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, for which there is a strong religious devotion in the Philippines. The text on the image is from the Gospel of Saint John, chapter 19 verse 37: They shall look upon Him whom they have pierced.

Good job capturing these lines and colors. It look very modern, I think.
One feels the passion that was involved while creating that beautiful window - impressive photography. A wonderful start into the new week for you all.
Wonderful capture, Hilda and season appropriate.
It is beautiful Hilda. I do see what you mean by a "modern representation" here also.
Magnifique ce vitrail, avec cette lumiere douce et chaude qui l'éclaire, j'aime beaucoup.
This beautiful stained glass, with this soft, warm light that illuminates, like a lot.
Magnifique ! L'alliance de l'ancien et du moderne.

Wonderful image.
What a beautiful work of art. The soft colours, the beautiful glass, the design. I like it very much and those steady eyes. I normally pass by such an image but this is arresting and strong.
You might enjoy this Gospel Procession at Nôtre-Dame-de-Paris or this Te Deum with Pope Benedict.
That is really beautiful, a wonderful photo! I love the colors and expression.
That is a very moving image Hilda! It's beautiful.
This photo is perfect for Christmas
Beautiful piece piece of religious art, modern but quite conventional, and this in the good sense of the term.

I know it's glass, but I'm not sure if it's traditional stained glass or if the artist painted the artwork on the glass.
im not sure what type of art this is but it's nice. it looks a bit italian inspired. not that sure.
It's truly a heavenly photo of a magnificent stained glass window of Jesus! Awesome!
What a beautiful image. It is modern, but I really like the colors.
Very inspiring. I see mystical reflections in the glass.
