The deeply-revered image of La Inmaculada Concepcion<\/i><\/b>
\n(Immaculate Conception<\/b>) of Malolos<\/b> is enshrined at the main altar of the
\nCathedral-Basilica Minore<\/b> dedicated to her name. It s a pre-war image done by a
\nnative carver, Teodoro Ople,<\/b> who overcame his humble beginnings\u2014he was an
\norphan\u2014to become a skilled artisan of note. The image was modeled from the
\nwell-known Marian painting of Bartolom\u00e9 Esteban Murillo<\/b>,\u201d La Inmaculada Concepcion
\nde los Venerables\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

In Murillo<\/b>‘s painting, Mary<\/b> is dressed in a white robe with a
\nblue mantle, her hands crossed over her chest, with a crescent moon at her
\nfeet, and eyes raised heavenwards. Her pose– right knee bent and her weight on
\nher left leg\u2014accentuates the undulating \u00a0<\/span>rhythm of the composition. A crescent moon encircles
\nher hidden foot, under voluminous layers of white fabric.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

FEAST OF IMMACULATE CONCEPTION, 1950s<\/i><\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Ople<\/b>\u2019s depiction
\nminimizes the bent foot, to create a more frontal stance, enhanced by the
\nrhythm of the folds and drapes of Her robe and mantle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

MALOLOS TOWN FIESTA, 1954<\/b><\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The beautifully-sculpted wooden figure of the Immaculate
\nConception<\/b> was canonically crowned on 10 March \u00a0<\/span>2012, as granted by Pope Benedict XVI.<\/b> A
\nflight of steps were built leading to the altar so the image could be touched
\nby devotees.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A vicaria<\/i> (replica) image of the Virgin is used for processions
\nwhile the precioys original image remains in the church for safekeeping.
\nMalolos\u2019 Immaculate Conception is one of the most photographed Marian image in
\nthe country, a testament to the profound devotion of Filipinos to the Blessed
\nMother.<\/p>\n
