Religious Sisters of Mercy

Our Mandala
The Philippine Sisters in preparation for the 1994 dedication
of Mercy International Centre wished to emphasise the joyful
spirit of the Filipino people.
The flag is the Philippine flag with three stars
representing the three main islands: Luzon, Visayas
and Mindanao.
The dancing pair and the guitar player are engaged
in a dance called "tinikling". Its
movements imitate a small bird found in Visayas
who hops on long spindly legs from bamboo to
bamboo in the forest. |
