THE amazing
Fr. Delaney of UP asked a young Vicente “Enteng” Manansala,
who did the Stations of the Cross at the UP chapel, to add
that “final station”—Christ in Easter glory—so that he
might pour out his crucified-and-risen life, his paschal
glory, into our world and its history, into our lives.
below, Delaney tries to portray, with the Napoleon Abueva
crucifix, that Cross and glory are only one mystery.
Master painter Manansala and sculptor Abueva are two of
the four young men, tapped by Delaney for the design and
construction of the chapel, who went on to become National
Artists. The two others are architect Leandro “Lindy”
Locsin, and visual artist Arturo Luz. -- PHOTOS
