It grapples with symbols and stories, the faith and powers at work in the act of devotion, at home or elsewhere. 2024-12-18T13:13:06Z text application/pdf https://archium.ateneo.edu/kk/vol1/iss25/19 info:doi/10.13185/1656-152x.1657 https://archium.ateneo.edu/context/kk/article/1657/viewcontent/_5BKKv00n25_2015_5D_205.1_LiteraryEssay_Pascual.pdf Kritika Kultura Archīum Ateneo diaspora iconography memory spirituality travel
