Stations of the Cross

This blog is a part of The Church of St. John The Evangelist section I am doing out of boredom ^_^;. This church is located in Tanauan City, Batangas here in the Philippines. You could visit the the stations at the backyard of this church almost anytime during the day... I think...



I had been visiting this part of the church with some my cousins who are much older than me during those time when I was still innocent and to this day at the time of this writing... They are still much older than me hehe...

Somewhat I miss those time and scenery and wanted to see that part of the church again... It`s been a long time since the last I saw or visited the church here... Well, with the exception of now and then family funeral mass and it would really not be the right time to walk around the church isn`t it? Anyway... to continue...

So, what I did this morning was to annoy my niece who was watching tv at that time to come with me and visit the backyard of the local church. Upon hearing that I wanted to go there, she laughs and made fun of me and my idea... If only you really knows me for so long or that you are really one of my closest friend then you`ll either be surprised or won`t believe it... some crazy idea comes popping out of my mind now and then... but to some who doesn`t see the real me, they`ll see it as just normal to have an interest in going to church ^_^;.

What I have here is a collection to some of the images that I had taken earlier this morning with my two devilish niece... A few notes, which I like to share here... The Stations of the Cross are usually depicted as only of 14 series which ends the station when Jesus was buried, but here in the Philippines where most are Roman Catholics, and although not part of the the traditional sets, it consisted of 15 stations with the Resurrection of Christ as being the last... Now, how did I know that? from wikipedia, read this section for more info ^_^;. Those devilish niece of mine says it`s 12 hehe...



And for the time being, I could only show the 14 stations `cause I ran out of memory from taking extra shots with those two in it and ended not including the resurrection...

I could say that this section is still incomplete for now...


My vox section of the Stations of the Cross for the other images...
