It was last Good Friday that my sisters and I went to 14 churches in Manila for our station of the cross. It was my Ate Jhyna’s idea. It was our first time to visit different 14 churches in one whole day. It was tiring but I feel like it was worth it. We didn’t eat our lunch until we are through with the 14th and last church. There are other people who are doing the same thing you can see them everywhere. The only thing is that they are walking barefooted from one church to another and we can’t really do it. So we have to take a ride from one church to another and we’re not barefooted. There are churches that are found almost at the same place so we do the walking. The experience was really something to me. I can’t really say what it is exactly but it really feels like after all the visiting and the fasting it feels like you’re not tired at all. As you go through the way of the cross and if you really mean it, no matter what – barefooted or not – walking or not – you’ll find that reflection that you want and the reflection that you need. Here are the 14 beautiful churches that we visited:
