I collected this postcard from my niece’s school project that shows the different tourists spots in the Philippines.
Magellan’s Cross is found in front of the city hall of Cebu City. We (some friends from the DOH and fellow reporters) were able to pass the historical landmark, but unfortunate to take a souvenir photo inside the chapel.
I haven’t gone to any churches for the traditional Visita Iglesia this Holy Week. However, I’m sharing some photos that I took during my son’s fieldtrip to the Shrine of the Divine Mercy in Marilao, Bulacan last year.
The Shrine is home to replicas of saints and pious people in the Catholic Religion. You can feel the sanctity of the place. Some parents or chaperon of kids got a few minutes to kneel and pray to the saints.
The Shrine is situated in a vast portion of land in Marilao, Bulacan. We haven’t really seen the whole place except the church area, so I can’t really tell if there is designated camping and picnic area that would allow visitors to cook.
If you are near the area, maybe you can include the Shrine of the Divine Mercy in your list of churches to visit this Lenten season.
This is the Ascencion Church found inside the vast Villa Escudero Plantations and Resort in San Pablo City, Laguna. It was a Spanish-style church and being used as a museum. I wonder why it was painted in pastel pink. My daughter took this picture during her educational field trip last January.
