Visita Iglesia 2014 English Version
Mabuhay!
There are many who are unable to participate in the Holy Week tradition of visiting 7 Churches and doing the Way of the Cross, for all sorts of reasons.
Some may be far from home in the Americas, in the Middle East, Europe, Asia or elsewhere around the world, while others are confined to their homes due to old age or illness and still others may be at work.
We have therefore prepared a small touch of home for Holy Week to offer you the opportunity to visit 7 historic churches on Panay Island and elsewhere with two Stations of the Way of the Cross at each church to help with your Holy Week observances.
And for the first time, in 2014, we offer a Hiligaynon version of Visita Iglesia.
