Lent: Visita Iglesia

Visita Iglesia is a Lenten Activity, means visiting Catholic churches and pray or cite the Stations of the Cross. This is our first time joining this church activity (mother, sister, nephew and church friends) and we had a great experience and we wanted to do this again next year.

The churches in the itinerary are in Pampanga and Bulacan. They have very very old churches there; let’s say more than 500 years old. Most churches were renovated because of damages caused by the war, Mt. Pinatubo explosion, etc. especially in Pampanga.

Two churches marked my mind; the church used in a TV Series May Bukas Pa, San Guillermo Parish and Santiago Apostol Parish because of its picturesque ceiling. The ceiling has maintained its color because of the substance added to the paint – The Saliva.
