WORLD YOUTH DAY PAPAL ALTAR

Papal Visit to Manila, 1995 (Quirino Grandstand)

Inspired by the bamboo arches seen in Philippine fiestas, the Quirino Grandstand was dressed up to evoke this festive feeling and give Pope John Paul II a reception that embodies the Filipinos fondness for His Holiness. A fabric canopy with Tagalog Stencil patterns marks the main portion of the dais where the Pope celebrated mass. All furniture were done in rattan to maintain the indigenous feel of the altar designs.
