Apung Mamacalulu
Apung Mamacalulu (Merciful Lord, Our Lord of Great Mercy) or the Santo Entierro (Holy Burial) of Angeles City, is a statue depicting the burial of Jesus Christ and is enshrined at the Archdiocesan Shrine of Christ our Lord of the Holy Sepulchre in Lourdes Sur, Angeles City in the Philippines. Thousands flock to hear the special Holy Mass celebrated every Friday at the shrine. Apu, as the lying statue of Jesus is fondly called by devotees, has become a symbol of hope for people longing for a connection to the divine especially when all else failed. His image is supine, bruised, caught in the final act of love and sacrifice that has spelled salvation for those who believe in him. Every kiss that lands his badly bruised feet or a touch that grazes his battered hand comes with a deep conviction that through his death and resurrection, He made all things new. Apung Mamacalulu bestows mercy beyond the grave.
