Ana1202 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 This is fun.. When my dad comes back I'll try to figure out the others. I think A is a saint but I'm still trying to find out who it is. L is not just Jesus Christ, it's the Sacred Heart of Jesus *That's my school:bleh:.*.

Naectegale Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 G is Santo Nino Statue from the Philippines Here's a quote "The statue itself, a replica of which will be at the St. Mary's celebration, is a 2-foot tall smiling child dressed in regal robes and crown. He holds the earth in his left hand, while his right hand forms a gesture of peace. He is considered the Divine Protector of the Philippines" - here's the link http://www.gilroydispatch.com/lifestyles/177853-festival-celebrates-history-of-philippines I've just checked the image here with the "Bambino Di Praga" referenced on the front page. They are very similar images, but totally different parts of the world On reflection, my link refers to a wooden statue, and this picture doesn't look like a statue. I'm confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelzy Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 J is 'Divino niño'.I'm not sure how it's called in English. But here's a picture. That's it almost. The hair is more brown on the bracelet. But I think that's going to be a close enough match. G is Santo Nino Statue from the Philippines Here's a quote "The statue itself, a replica of which will be at the St. Mary's celebration, is a 2-foot tall smiling child dressed in regal robes and crown. He holds the earth in his left hand, while his right hand forms a gesture of peace. He is considered the Divine Protector of the Philippines" - here's the link http://www.gilroydispatch.com/lifestyles/177853-festival-celebrates-history-of-philippines That's it. Well done! Very interesting reading , so its not the baby jesus but the divine child and thats expressed as an image That's what interests me Freds. How it's the same but slightly different in other countries. More on Our lady of Grace and the Miraculous medal http://www.stmaryolg.org/patron.html Added to the first post! This is fun..When my dad comes back I'll try to figure out the others. I think A is a saint but I'm still trying to find out who it is. L is not just Jesus Christ, it's the Sacred Heart of Jesus *That's my school.*. A reminds me of Florence Nightingale - The lady with the lamp. http://nursingcrib.com/wp-content/uploads/florence-nightingale-lady-of-the-lamp.jpg Thank you for L! Answer - they are related images (according to Wikipedia) here is the Phillipines version http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santo_Ni%C3%B1o_de_Ceb%C3%BA Here is the Prague version http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infant_Jesus_of_Prague Looks like they come from the same roots, but have been exported around the world And each time slightly different! Good work! A candidate for K - Santo Nino de Atocha http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santo_Ni%C3%B1o_de_Atocha And another http://atcc-torcc.org/ninoatocha.htm I can't see all the detail on the bracelet - it seems to have the staff, but I can't see the basket Yes, that's the picture. Except on the bracelet it is reversed. So I assume that F (The Virgin Mary/Our lady of Grace) could be either as well. I like this chap - " El Santo Nino de Atocha is the patron saint of those unjustly imprisoned. He also protects travelers and rescues people in danger." And you can even get the T - shirt http://www.johntoddjr.com/36%20Atocha/at.htm - about 1/4 down the page That's brilliant. Image C - Immaculate Conception http://www.allposters.com/-sp/Immaculate-Conception-of-the-Escorial-circa-1678-Posters_i1343059_.htm You're right about it being the Immaculate Conception. But the picture isn't quite a match, but I think close enough. Could it also be called the Assumption though? we have gone very far in this! bravo! i've learnt a lot of new things! We have! I'm enjoying it. and just in case you want to buy a bracelet http://www.atomicmall.com/view.php?id=9379 OH!! There it is! You may all go back to off topic now.

Could it also be called the Assumption though? We have! I'm enjoying it. I think I have seen it called the assumption as well. The trouble with the internet is that it is not 100% reliable - a lot of these sites are run by enthusiasts and some people are going to make mistakes - I don't think it matters much though. I'm enjoying it too - it's a challenge. I can't find anything on A - I've tried every combination of Jesus/Mary/saint/torch/blindfold to no avail! Also H- clearly Jesus, but what are the three things on his head which look a bit like a halo? I'm off to bed - will search again tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertina Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 about jesus's halo i've found this in wikipedia: per Gesù si usa un'aureola nella quale è inscritta una croce, di solito rossa. In genere se ne vedono solo tre bracci, quello inferiore essendo coperto dal collo e dal busto. translation: usually a cross shaped halo is used for Jesus, often a red one. You can see only three arms over four, the fourth being behind neck and shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertina Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Immaculate Conception (the virginity of Mary as a dogma) is a dogma proclaimed by the Pope in 1854. We celebrate this dogma on dec 8th (national holiday! fancy you!). The traditional icon of this can be seen in the Virgin of Lourdes images. The Assumption of the Virgin is another dogma asserting that she was taken into heaven with all her body, and she literally was lifted in heaven as Jesus was. We celebrate this on august 15th, national hols too, linked to summer holiday period from work. consequently the icons are different, and ispired different works of art and imagery.
