IMPROMPTU BISITA IGLESIA
I admit that I'm not at all a religious person although I love visiting churches even briefly. Sta. Cruz Church in Manila is among those that I go to every now and then. I have many fond memories of it. You see, upon entering high school, I stopped going to Espiritu Santo Church in Tayuman Street with my parents and started going with my brothers and cousins to Sta. Cruz Church.
It wasn’t so much that the latter offered a more trendy and hip Sunday service. It was mainly because the church was popular among some girls from my brothers’ and cousins’ universities. So, more than anything else, it was basically the posturing (precipitated by teenage raging hormones) that motivated our going to Sta. Cruz Church at that time.
Earlier this afternoon, I met with three fellow camera club members at Hidalgo Street in Quiapo. We shot some pictures around the church's vicinity; afterwards, we headed over to Sta. Cruz Church wherein I took a picture of its chapel by the front door (see photo below). Everyone enjoyed taking pictures of this church and its grounds, as well as the Carriedo Fountain over at Plaza de Sta. Cruz in front of the church.
I am very happy that through my interest in photography, I am developing many friends as I used to when I was in high school. However, for tomorrow until Easter Sunday, it would be a time reserved for family and visiting relatives.
