In connection with the Feast of the Exaltation of the cross, I opted to share these photos of the Santo Cristo de Pakil venerated at the altar near the entrance of the church. I took the photos during the Domingo de Dolores Fiesta of Pakil.
This Santo Cristo is popular not only to Pakileños, but also to devotees of Virgen de Turumba. I noticed that devotees would usually kiss the Santo Cristo’s feet before exiting the church. I could still recall one of the elders putting perfume to the Señor’s feet.
Now, you can see that the paint of the Señor’s feet has already faded exposing the natural dark wood.
Here are some photos of Santo Cristo de Pakil.
