Introduction:
While the Philippines is home to a broad range of Catholic practices,
Filipinos stand out for their devotional fervor. Filipino Catholic practice is unusually
material and physical, even among Catholic cultures, built especially on
devotions to Mary, the suffering Christ, and the Santo Niño (Holy Child), and on
powerful celebratory and penitential rituals practiced and experienced in a
wide variety of Filipino vernacular forms. As one church leader described it, for
90% of Catholics practice is seasonal, though still very fervent, peaking
especially at Good Friday, but also including major celebrations on feasts like
Santo Niño and the Black Nazarene.
Notably, too, charismatic Catholicism, represented by movements like El
Shaddai and Couples for Christ, has had a significant impact on Filipino
Catholicism.
Filipino devotionalism and the Catholic charismatic movement both
reflect a particular tendency toward the affective that distinguishes Filipino
Catholicism. Appeal to emotion is primary in Filipino Catholic practice, and is
evident in preaching, singing and devotions that connect deeply on that level.
Images of Jesus in the country, it has been noted, focus on two extremes — on
images of a playful but regal boy child, the Santo Niño, and on tragic images of
the suffering, crucified Christ.
