You may have heard about the Pink Sisters and their convent in Tagaytay, which usually becomes a destination for reflection every holy week. Aside from that, the convent and chapel are also frequented every\u00a0Christmas season as Filipino Catholics practice\u00a0Simbang Gabi, <\/em>a\u00a0<\/em>devotional nine-day series of masses, here.<\/span><\/p>\n

While the nuns are often called ‘Pink Sisters’ because of their pink habit, they are officially part of the\u00a0Sister Servants of the Holy Spirit of Perpetual Adoration<\/strong>, an institute of cloistered or enclosed nuns who follows a solemn vow to strictly separate themselves from the outside world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Inside the chapel, you\u2019ll find a grille just before the altar, which separates the people and the nuns to further keep the solemnity of prayers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On normal days, the\u00a0convent is often a pit stop for people who visit Tagaytay. Visitors wish to ask for prayers from the nuns as they are said to be\u00a0offering prayers for the world 24 hours a day.<\/p>\n

Inside the chapel, one\u00a0can write their intentions or prayers and drop it on the box<\/span> for the nuns to read. These are collected and included in the sisters’ continuous prayers by offering comfort to many who believe in the power of collective intercession. This practice has made the chapel a popular destination for pilgrims and devotees from various parts of the country.<\/p>\n

Outside the chapel is a garden-like setting of the Station of the Cross. Visitors can take a stroll while indulging in the fresh breeze and the temporary solitude.<\/p>\n
