This Filipina artist recreates the Sto. Niño image through glass

Marge Organo’s ‘Sto. Niño I’ and ‘Sto. Niño VII’
Filipinos’ devotion to the Sto. Niño goes deep into the history of Catholicism in the Philippines. In fact, it is among the earliest religious artifacts that reached the country, dating back to 1521 when Ferdinand Magellan arrived at the shores of Cebu. Now, the holy image can be seen in every home and even in offices and other business establishments that wants to put Him in the center of their work. 
Much like these Filipinos, artist Marge Organo is also fascinated by the charm of the Sto. Niño. While studying Glass Casting at The Glassmaking School at Kamenicky Senov in Czech Republic, she had the most special encounter with the holy image when she visited the Church of Our Lady Victorious that houses the Holy Infant Jesus of Prague.
