Places to Go this Holy Week
Aside from revisiting and reflecting on our spiritual beliefs, the Holy Week also gives time for people to have a long weekend.
While some would choose on going with the traditional activities during Holy Week, such as penitence, going on Visita Iglesia, or witnessing the Moriones festival in Marinduque—some would rather spend their weekend with their families, friends, or just by themselves.
Here are the places you can visit for the coming long weekend.
1. Peace and quiet in Caleruega, Batangas
A couple of hours drive from Manila, Caleruega in Batangas is a known place to spend some quiet and alone time. Popularly known as a place where weddings are held, Caleruega features a chapel, retreat houses, hanging bridges, hand-carvings of the Stations of the Cross, and religious sculptures.
Walking around the silent place definitely gives you peace, while being close to nature and God.
