Nuestra Senora de Gracia and the love tales.

That is good. The sacrifice will yield blessings a bounty.

@eileenleyva Amen.

Yes, indeed. I did wonder how the construction workers labored in the 16th century. There was no heavy equipment then. No cement mixers. But then I thought of the Pyramids of Egypt, and the roads that lead to Rome. Superb architecture and engineering then, would our high rise skyscrapers and towers last centuries? I wonder.

@eileenleyva true.

I was awed. Antiquated but grand.

Yes, the church is really cool. Actually, no ventilation needed inside. The promenade must be a tryst by night.

I am very much aware of the fact that there are more miserable spirits in the church than in the cemeteries where most actually rest in peace.

@epiffanie

@eileenleyva Oh yes indeed! ..I know what you mean .. that's why sometimes, I visit the cemeteries first before I sticky beak inside churches .. lol ..

Yes, please do check on the church, then ask fervently for three wishes. My neuropathy would not permit me to walk far. Amusingly, at the UP Church of the Holy Sacrifice, our first stop always and where we go through the Stations of the Cross, my daughters and I genuflected on the first station, and we all three went "Ouch." I couldn't bend my ankles. My elder daughter's right foot was inflamed because of Vitamin D deficiency. My younger daughter just came out from a 36 hour toxic duty where she was on her feet all the long hours. When we all expressed Ouch, and realized we had to go through the pain thirteen more times, well, we said, what is it compared to the hard fall three times, and the scourging, and the crowning with briar thorns. I am glad you go through the walk. The churches in my area are far apart, although walkable if willed be. Graces upon you and your family, for willingly going through the sacrifice.

@mlgen1037 Keep safe and happy all the time.

@eileenleyva thank you, Eileen. I will remember what you said. Youre right, the sacrifices we made during our bisita iglesia is not comparable to what Jesus did for us. But it means something to Him. I really like the feeling I got after the visit to the churches. I did not really pain that I was tired after and I felt relieved. Take care, Eileen. I wish you and your family too more blessings. God bless!
