Tayo na sa Antipolo Church
Hearings at Antipolo City gave us opportunity to visit the Antipolo Church or the shrine of “Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage”. Visiting the Antipolo Church gave me nostalgic memories of childhood, when we used to go there with my parents and grandparents. I had an old picture of my grandfather carrying me at the parking lot of Antipolo Church, him wearing a hat during that sunshiny Antipolo day. After going to church, we would be buying kasoy (cashew), which I then pronounced as “ka-shoy”. 😀
It has been customary for most Filipinos to go up in Antipolo City and to pray at the Virgin Mary of Antipolo whenever they are about to embark on a long journey. At the back of the church, religious items and prayer books are available, especially for those who want to pray or novena for safe travel.
The Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage is considered as one of the most traveled for and sought after Marian icons in the Philippines. During Holy Week, thousands of devotees flock to Antipolo Church to pray and reflect.
After praying at the church and buying religious items, don’t forget to drop by at the nearby pasalubong center to buy cashew nuts and suman. 🙂
