Tomorrow is the Feast of the Santo Ni��o, it reminded me of a detail from a 17th century altar front in San Agustin depicting the "Nino Dormido" (Sleeping Child Jesus). This charming Ni��o, expertly carved from Philippine hardwood, resembles depictions of the Buddha in blissful sleep, proof of the melding of cultures in Philippine religious imagery. Pls share.
