THE POWER OF SACRED IMAGES


Santa Barbara Church in Dededo, reflecting the influence of its large Filipino community, includes many sacred images representing Biblical figures of the Passion (Saint Mary Magdalene, Veronica, etc.), just as was done by the Chamorros before the war.

In this video, a woman is profoundly stirred and weeps when she kneels before the Sånto Entiero, the representation of Christ in repose.
