Giving Thanks to 2014

I know!I know!its already late to welcome this year but still, its better to be late than never,right?. HAHA. This January, my family visited 2 churches(different date) with beautiful sceneries and must see landscape and holy statues. As a catholic its really relaxing and peaceful if you visit this kind of place. You will feel safe,peace of mind and overwhelmed by the place like you're so near to holiness(as for me). Last January 2 we visited Kamay ni Jesus in Lucban Quezon its a 3 hours drive from Taytay,Rizal(my location). So here are the pictures!

Theres a mountain like behind us,and a 189 steps to reach the top,what my fault is i didnt do a research regarding the place so yeah i wasnt able to wear comfortable shoes.huhu 

 Adam and Eve

 Noah's Ark

We cant go inside the Ark, I believe its a conference area or event area.

 You can light candles for your prayers/personal wishes,theres a color for candles for particular wish/prayers

 Red roof is the church.

There's a statues  for every thing that Jesus did and happened to him.

On going mass is happening there,when we first enter we cant find a location so we can listen well because there's a lot of people,surprisingly the reason that there's a lot of people is one of the healing priest is inside. And sick people is prioritize to enter the church. (People started to leave that time 'cause the rain is starting to pour but we still continue to hike.)

 

 We're almost there.

A lot people behind me are praying while Im taking my selfie. LOL

 My not so comfortable #OOTD #Inappropriate yes!Sorry!

As  for the second church,we visit this church as a post 51st birthday celebration of Mama. Regina Ricca is located in Tanay Rizal an hour drive from my location,this is actually my second time to visit here(with my in-laws) and its the first time with my family. Luckily we're just in time for the mass. And here are the pictures!

 Family Picture!

 My super kulit nephew 

Year of the sheep!they're real anyway,there are horses and peacocks as well .There's also a restaurant I dont have a picture 'cause we ate inside the car hehe,beside the resto theres few nipa huts so if you bring pack lunch you can rent one and hang out there and also a souvenir shop nearby.

 Inside the church. Nuns are singing to welcome the visitors 'cause a lot of people are coming/came from different places are here to attend the mass,they're also giving what they call "healing oil" after the song.

 You need to walk steep road to reach the top and to have a beautiful view of Regina Rosarii.

And to see this beautiful view,good for soul searching hehe. I believe wedding will be wonderful here.So yeah,how about you? how do you spend your holiday? :) XO
