    OUTSIDE MANILA CATHEDRAL

    The main façade of the Manila Cathedral is graced by statues of famous saints sculpted in Roman travertine
    stone. In the old cathedral, they were originally made of molave wood.

    The saints are St. Rose of Lima, patroness of the Philippines by Angelo Fattinanzi, St. Jacob the Great, St.
    Andrew the Apostle, preacher of the faith in many corners of Asia and patron of saint of Manila, by Livia
    Papini; St. Francis Xavier, apostle of the Indies, by Alcide Tico; St. Polycarp, old bishop of Smyrna, by
    Alcide Tico; and St. Anthony Abbot, founder of Oriental monasticism, by Livia Papini.
    INSIDE MANILA CATHEDRAL

    Michelangelo’s “La Pieta” is one of the


    world’s most recognized works of art, a
    sculpture that beautifully portrays the scene
    of faith and sorrow – that of the battered
    body of Jesus Christ cradled in the loving
    arms of the Virgin Mary. It is a poignant
    reminder of the great sacrifice both the
    Mother and the Son so willingly endured
    for the salvation of man.

    This replica of “La Pieta” at the Manila


    Cathedral reflects the Filipino Catholics’
    strong affinity to Jesus and Mary’s
    sacrificial love of mankind. His Eminence
    Gaudencio Cardinal Rosales, Archbishop
    of Manila, officially unveiled and blessed this “La Pieta” on 27 September 2009 in celebration of the Feast
    Day of St. Vincent de Paul, the Patron Saint of Charitable Societies.
    2. Identify whether the columns are:
    Ionic, Doric, Corinthian. Explain briefly.

    As we visit Manila Cathedral, we


    spotted it to be somehow linked to
    Doric or Doric column style. It's because
    of the purpose of each column inside /
    outside the church to support the
    ceiling weight. Although each classical
    engineering used columns for this
    particular purpose, there is a lot of
    variation in just the structures. Doric
    order is broader at the base than the
    top and that's the primary proof we've
    identified and consider saying that
    Manila Cathedral has Doric column
    style.
