Family, Life and Early Childhood

Prepared by: Prof. Ester Onag

Rizal grew up in a happy home, ruled by good parents, bubbling with joy, and sanctified by God’s blessings

….An inland lake of songs and emerald waters

beneath the canopy of azure shies

Recuerdo A Mi Pueblo (In Memory of my Town 1876)

The first memory of Rizal, in his infancy was his happy days in the family when he was three years old. Because he was a sick child, he was given the tenderest care by his parents. His father built a little nipa cottage in the garden for him to play in the day time.

Earliest Childhood Memories

Another memory of his infancy was the nocturnal walk in the town. The maid (Aya) took him for a walk in the moonlight by the river

Earliest Childhood Memories

When early childhood’s happy days

In memory I see once more

Along the lovely verdant shore

That meets a gently murmuring sea;

When I recall the whisper soft

Of zephyrs dancing on my brow

With cooling sweetness, even now

New luscious life is born in me

Recuerdo A Mi Pueblo

(In Memory of my Town 1876)

“When I was four years old, I lost my little

sister Concha, and then for the first time I shed

tears caused by LOVE and GRIEF…”

-Rizal

At the age of three, he began to take part in the family prayers. His mother was a devout Catholic, taught him prayers and at the age of five he was able to read Spanish family Bible

Devoted son of the church

Artistic talents

“all right laugh at me now! Someday when I

die, people will make monuments and image of

me!...”
