Santo Entierro
Baler, Aurora
A glass coffin encasing a statue of Jesus Christ is displayed in a makeshift wooden chapel in Baler. The name of the sculptor is not known though locals claim that this icon possesses miraculous powers and grants miracles to those who believe. During Holy Week, "albularyos" (spiritual doctors) and amulet holders flock to this revered statue to insert their anting-anting (amulets) into the niches of the coffin. After Good Friday, they retrieve their respective amulets now recharged with power. It is also said that the amulets in the niches are visible only to their owners.
