Visita Iglesia is a Lenten tradition commonly observed by Catholics on Maundy Thursday. It involves visiting and praying in seven churches (or more) to reflect on the Stations of the Cross, which commemorate the events leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
Why Seven Churches?
The number seven symbolizes the seven last words of Jesus on the cross. While seven is the traditional number, many faithful choose to visit more churches as an expression of deeper devotion.
This year, we visited several churches across Metro Manila, including some of the most historic ones located in the City of Manila, a place rich in religious and cultural heritage.
