The Images around the Church Of Morong

As we prayed inside the Church of Morong, I took a few pictures of the larger than life religious statues which would be part of the Holy Week procession on Good Friday. According the historical marker found in the walls of the facade, the Church of Morong was "entrusted to the Recollects in 1607." That would make this church more than 400 years old. The marker also says that the church was a witness "to the Morong Katipuneros fight for freedom during the revolution against Spain." The church was also part of the heroic stand of the Cavalry Unit of USAFE Unit as part of the "western section of the main line of resistance" during World War II. Given the rich historical value of the Church of Morong, we would wish the more Filipinos would actually visit this church and help in maintaining it's structure and antiquities.

Maybe, one day the #StepsOfOurLives" will bring us back again to the Church of Morong.

Steps around the Church Of Morong

The #StepsOfOurLives this Holy Week brought all of us to Morong! We left Tahanan Village early Thursday morning, around 7am. Yes, that was early already, given that we had to prepare our kids for the trip. We picked up Rene at StarBucks front Tiendesitas which was one of the few outlets open this Holy Week. None of us had been to Morong. Even, Rene, hasn't been to this part of the country. The Felicianos, who had joined us for a couple of road-trips are also newbees to Morong. I just googled resorts around Morong and after a few inquiries, confirmed our accommodation at Alpina Beach Resort. On our second day in Morong, we visited the Church of Morong around 2:30pm, Good Friday. The Felicianos, together with Rene, did the Stations of the Cross, while Cecile and I just sat on the wooden church benches together with Rafa and Angel.

Lucky for all of us, there was going to be a 3pm Holy Mass.
