CEBU CITY—Msgr. Cristobal Garcia has always been proud of his collection of religious icons and paintings.
He displayed them in exhibits during the weeklong festivities to celebrate the feast day of the Holy Child Jesus every third Sunday of January.
Some of the religious images can also be seen at the museum inside the compound of the Society of Angels of Peace, a congregation Garcia founded in Talisay City, Cebu.
His collections range from 300-year-old heirlooms to newly carved pieces, paintings, statues and “stampita” (scapular) bought in and outside the country.
So far, no one in Cebu can match Garcia’s collection. Those who know him say that he can very well afford these expensive art pieces.
