A GAZEBO OF JOURNEYS AND RANDOM THOUGHTS OF AN AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER AND WRITER. Life is a series of pictures. Some blurred, others vivid and sharp; some are panoramic while others are close-up views with tiny little flaws. You may be taken by a luxurious DSLR camera or a plain Point and Shoot Cam, but in the end, when all of the films are used up and all batteries empty, people all have one thing in common: what we leave are footprints in the sand, pictures in the album, and flashes of memories.
CEBU METROPOLITAN CATHEDRAL
 |
| the altar |
This cathedral is acclaimed for its exquisite gold-decorated altar with its silver-plated sophisticated design. Successive weddings have taken place in this peaceful sanctuary because of its heavenly architecture and fascinating ambiance. With its facade valiantly expressing the remains of the Spanish colonial era (the Spanish Royal Coat of Arms is even at the door!), the cathedral prides itself of standing through the test of time and this can vividly be seen if we carefully trace back it's long and winding
history.
As this magnificent cathedral presently looms in Cebu, it remains to be a famous tourist attraction to both Catholics or non-Catholics and is constantly present in foreigners' itineraries and must-see locations.
For Catholics, this cathedral is a suitable place for reflection, serenity and prayer and continues to attract Sunday church-goers and worshipers alike.
for their mass/events schedule: visit
this.
