I visited today Our Lady of Lourdes Parish Church at Tagaytay City. This is the first time I went to this place of healing and pilgrimage which is also a popular church in Tagaytay frequented by devotees, churchgoers, and tourists as well. It is located along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu highway. After I offered my prayers, I was able to take very good pictures because there few people visiting the place that time (I arrived at the church at 10:30 am), and you can feel the peaceful and serene mood of the place. You will be astounded when you enter the place because there are lots of trees and plants on each side of the patios, and a plaza like garden front yard, a water fountain at the entrance of the church. There is also a Candle Chapel, a garden dedicated to Saint Padre Pio with pine trees around the area, and the beautiful altar of the church. The place is very well maintained because you will not see a single garbage on the floor and surroundings in and out the church except the fallen dried leaves of the trees. It was such a rewarding experienced again for me to visit another historical church. Next time I will try to attend a mass and explore again this beautiful and peaceful place.
