Holy Week Activity

Written by on April 22, 2011 – 11:11 am -

We were not able to do our usual routine of our Visita Iglesia every Holy week. Yesterday, I am not really feeling well but still wanted to go and do the Visita Iglesia with my sister. We just decided to visit one Church which is the Church of the Holy Spirit in Sampaloc, the nearest one to my parents place and did all the 14 station there. I hope that by next year, we could visit again at least seven churches and include the San Agustin and Manila Cathedral Church by then.

As for our family activity, we didn’t go to any vacation getaway for the holy week. We just stayed home, did general cleaning of the house in preparation for the little girl’s birthday celebration next week, shopped for some party favors and do the grocery. Household chores usually kept me busy all day long.

Visita Iglesia on Holy thursday

Written by on April 11, 2009 – 9:14 am -

Since I was in College, my pledge every holy week was do the station of the cross which is also known as “Visita Iglesia” but was not able to continue it when I gave birth to my first born Gabby and with Nicco 2 years after. I still don’t want to tag them along with us since it was freakin hot.

1st and 2nd Station:

Church of the Holy Spirit

Balic-balic, Sampaloc Manila

3rd and 4thStation:

Shrine of the Holy Face of Jesus

R.Hidalgo St., Quiapo Manila

beside my High School Alma Matter Quiapo Parochial School
(Now called The Nazarene School)

We saw this at the entrance of the Holy Face, its like a wishing pond.

At first, my cam was set with flash off and this was the result. Dark! Just when I am about to delete it, I noticed that the Holy face of Jesus was caught perfectly. Click on the larger image to see.
