I'm back!!!

Hi everyone!

Wow! I just fired up my blog and realized that it has been 2 years since I last posted here. Since I already have a lot of time on my hands, I have decided to go ahead and revive this old blog of mine.

Love Lots,

Visita Iglesia 2013

Hey there peeps! I decided to go on a visita iglesia this 2013. It's actually my first time.
Visita Iglesia is usually done on a Maundy Thursday, so we decided to go on March 28, 2013 which was a Maundy Thursday.
We actually visited 7 churches and  followed the way of the cross as went through each church.

Here is the list of the churches that we visited.

1. Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish
Palmera Spring III Susano Road, Camarin, 1400 Caloocan

-This is the local parish in our area that's why we decided to go here first.
Just click on the name above if you would like to have more information about the church, it will connect you to its facebook page.

2. Sto. Domingo Church
#537 Quezon Ave., Quezon City
 
-This is the next stop in our journey.  It is actually my first time inside this church. I must say, it's really big inside.

Here are some shots of the church that we took.

3. Basilica de Minore de San Sebastian
 Quiapo, Manila

-We also took some pictures of the church. It was my very first time going there, and it really took my breath away. It's like your inside a European church. The pictures don't do justice to it's beauty.

4. Manila Cathedral
General Luna Street, Manila

-The church is still being constructed as of the time being, that's why we are not able to go inside.
Here are the pictures that we took.

Manila Cathedral still in construction.

We just prayed outside the church.

That's me with the coppery hair. :)

5. San Agustin Church
General Luna Street,
Intramuros, Manila

-The church was undergoing a reconstruction of its facade. As you can see the beige colored paint has been chipped off. The church is being restored to how it looked like before. The inside of the church was still accessible though.

Church Restoration ongoing.

Here we are following the way of the cross in SAC.

6. Quiapo Church (Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene)
910 Plaza Miranda, Quiapo, Manila

-The traffic was really bad so we decided not to go inside anymore. It was a Maundy Thursday and there were so many devotees gathered at the front of the church that made it impossible for us to proceed inside.
7. St. Peter Parish
Block 44, Lot 7 & 8 Commonwealth Ave.

We were really tired and just decided to say the way of the cross and went home right away.


It was a great experience and it's wonderful for spiritual healing and gives you an appreciation for the grand architecture of our churches here in the Philippines. For those interested in getting more information for all of the churches that I visited, just click on their names on their list. You will be then directed to the church's main site or their facebook page or if it's not available their link in wikipedia.

I hope that everyone had a great Lenten celebration. I sure did.

Love,
