Every Holy Week, this is the event I’m always looking forward to. We would plan our itinerary every year so that we can visit different churches every year.
What do we do?
We do the Stations of the Cross in every church we visit. 2 stations for each until we finish the 4th station. In total, we visit 7 churches every year.
These past few years, we don’t practice it anymore due to personal reasons. Luckily, this year Andrew’s family invited me to join them in their Visita Iglesia. However, they don’t do the station of the cross but they pray the rosary for each church. One mystery per church. They asked my how we do the Visita Iglesia and shared to them our family’s tradition. His mom liked the idea so we bought booklets sold in the church. (sbe ko kay andrew bibilhan ko sila nung maganda.. hahaha!)
So our journey begins:
1. Pasig Church
2. Sta. Clara Church
3. Antipolo Church
4. Quiapo Church
5. Baclaran Church
6. Mater Dolorosa Church
7. Pateros Church
We started a 3pm and ended around 7pm. Good thing there was no traffic. I hope that by next year I could get my own car so that I can bring my family to do the Visita Iglesia again.
