To answer some of the questions
raised by some of my visitors I have added following information:
Originally the icons
belonged to the Church. The images then were few. The parish priest entrusted
these statues to the families he revered the most in town. The recamadera of
caretaker was responsible for maintaining the saint’s appearance by cleaning
it, dressing it in sumptuous garments, and surrounding it with silver flowers.
This involved
considerable expense for the caretaker had to feed and even house devotes who
came down from the hills and distant fields.
This trusteeship or
the recamadera institution dovetailed therefore with the feudal order. Certain ricelands
and orchards were titled to support an icon. For the wealthy were and are
obliged to display the image in all its finery, before and after the
procession.
From a mere trustee,
the role of the recamadera has undergone modifications. Formerly they were duty
bound to return the images if the family changed residence or fell out of the
priest’s favour. As the gentry grew wealthier from the 1850s, they began to own
the icons and silver vehicles, which they now loaned to the Church.
Please also note that
the religious processions are the pride and the passion of the Filipinos. Great
festivals bring together prodigious crowds both as actors and spectators. The
processions are so popular because they present truths in vivid, literally
touchable images; they bring together relatives, friends and neighbours, the
rich and the poor; and they answer a variety of other needs.
