update on the cathedral

I took some pictures at the Cathedral after the 8:00 am mass. Work is still going on. The repainting of the ceiling is almost complete with work now being done at the left wing of the cathedral. The side altars are now sporting a new gold-leaf finish.

This is the area along Senator Avelino Avenue. It was cemented after the benches, plants and lamp posts were removed.

The repainting of the ceiling is almost done. The rectangular openings which used to have those fluorescent lamps have been covered.

Scaffolding at the left wing of the Cathedral (or the area where one get to see the image of the Dolorosa)

The life-size images of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary have been removed from its pedestal (pix below). The images are being gold-leafed.
