The Santo Doming Church is formally known as the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary of La Naval de Manila and Saint Martín de Porres: Parish of St Dominic de Guzman, and is primarily dedicated to the image of Our Lady of the Rosary, in commemoration when the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to San Domingo Félix de Guzmán (1170-1221) in 1214, and presented the Rosary as a tool in his mission to convert the heretical Cathars. These three panels are the last three Glorious Mysteries of the original fifteen mysteries of the Rosary. The first stained-glass images that a visitor will are the large triptych of “The Crowning of Mary + The Assumption + The Pentecost” at the façade of the Santo Doming Church. The narthex stained glass window of the Glorious Mysteries by Galo Ocampo Ocampo (1913-1985), who designed fifty-four separate stained-glass panels with saints and heraldic emblems, and six other windows with simple geometric patterns. However, the artist with the largest scope of work within the church is Galo B. 1952-1954 The Santo Domingo Church by José María Zaragoza To achieve this vision, the Dominicans and Zaragoza hired several modernist artists to share their talents in the design of the church, such as the Italian Art Deco sculptor Francesco Riccardo Clementi Monti (1888-1958), the future-National Artist for Painting, Carlos “Botong” Villaluz Francisco (1914-1969), and the Spanish-Filipino symbolist portraitist Antonio García Llamas (1912-1999). Rather than taking the traditional classical Baroque style that was expected for a church, the Dominicans hired future-National Artist for Architecture, José María Vélez Zaragoza (1912-1994), to bring a modernist perspective to the sixth incarnation of the Santo Domingo Church. When the Dominican Order decided to rebuild the Santo Doming Church and Conventin Quezon City, after old church was destroyed by the Japanese bombings of World War II, they wanted this new church to be a grand expression of art and architecture just as the previous church was.
