A Solemn Place Dear to my Heart.Simala Shrine Cebu.My visit and prayers

Hello! Halo Dear everyone I wanted to share my special day because I dedicated it to a religious activity which is visiting the sacred church “Simala Shrine” in Cebu. I took so much photos of this sacred place because it is dear to me. This is not my first visit here for prayers.

Simala is very known church in the Cebu Province, hundreds of visitors come daily. People come to worship and appreciate it’s unique architecture that makes it look different from other churches . Well for me the most important thing about this church is my faith and my dedication to thank God for this life.

The Journey going here must be taken by bus or V-Hire, hours away from my city and then by a motorcycle up the mountain. All rides were worth taking because I put my faith into it to come or arrive to Simala Shrine.

The way of practicing the prayers is people light candles. The color of the candles are red, pink, yellow, white, orange ,green and purple. Each color has a meaning it could be for love, family, career and etc. Candles are an important symbol for praying.

Inside the church there is a store that sells different intricate religious artifacts where you can have to pray at home with. Such as rosary, bracelets, statue, handkerchiefs, pamphlets and more.

There is also a room that shows the proof of the many miracles the church has given people, such as board passers for exam, getting healed from difficult illness and so much more that inspire me in many ways for hope in praying vigorously.

Inside the church has a particular chapel where masses are held. Many people gather and listen to the jubilee in that place. It is furnished with many golden ornaments and décor.

Outside the church more souvenir shops gather to inspire people to get a piece of Simala Church and bring it home as a remembrance of the prayers at the place. Also it could be used for daily prayers.

Once again the Simala Shrine Cebu is a sacred pilgrimage site renowned for its miraculous. "Our Lady of Simala Statue". Devotees flock here to offer prayers, light candle, and seek blessings, believing in the Virgin Mary's Intercession for healing wand answered petition. This place I will always visit.

Well everyone that is pretty much it for my thoughts for today's visit to a wonderful church, I hope to visit again sooner in the near future. Thank you for reading this I hope to catch you next time.
