Apo Resureccion has been with us in our ancestral home for four generations now. Life size to a typical Filipino, the icon is enclosed in a three-side glass cabinet. I took these photos after grooming the Apo in time for the Easter celebration in 2014. The Apo was groomed again in time with the current Lenten Season.
Nothing has changed in the Apo except his linen and some signs of getting old, so to speak. The icon is made of one-piece wood carved faithfully from head to foot. No one can tell in my generation and that of my dad who the model was. No explanation can be offered on how the holy icon transformed beyond the limits of any mortal model.
San Vicente is traditionally famous for furniture and wooden saints. It is the Paete of the north, as often compared; it is a local seat of Renaissance art. The town takes pride with a distinction of producing professionals, leading farmers, artisans, and leaders, notwithstanding, in practically all fields of human endeavor. The ratio per one thousand population is one of the highest in the country, and in fact, in the world. ~
