Kamay ni Hesus Shrine in Lucban, Quezon

After we finished our tour around the town of Pitogo, we went to Lucena, ate our lunch and rode a jeepney going to Kamay ni Hesus in Lucban, Quezon. It was a 30 minutes ride from Lucena central terminal to Lucban. We paid P30.00 each.






























Lucban Quezon is popular not only because of its delicious foods and colorful festivals like the Pahiyas festival celebrated every month of May. Lucban, Quezon has become a favorite tourist spot in the Philippines.












































































Kamay ni Hesus has fast becoming one of the popular pilgrim sites in the Philippines. Since Filipinos are Catholics, many are easily attracted to visit Kamay ni Hesus to pray for healing, hear mass, repent especially during lenten season and while others come to to give thanks to Jesus Christ.


























Kamay ni Hesus healing church is considered one of the sacred grounds and pilgrim sites located at Brgy. Tinamnan, Lucban, Quezon. The 5-hectare shrine was constructed on 2002 and founded by Fr. Joey Faller with the collaborated effort of some local and international communities and the people from Quezon.























It has other sites like Dolorosa Grotto, healing Church, Noah's Ark, Sea of Galilee, Holy Family park and the Pastoral Center.

 


It was my first time to visit Kamay ni Hesus Shrine last April 17, 2016. I (with madam Flor) climbed the 305 steps grotto to be able to reach the  50 ft. statue of the Ascending Christ.With courage, determination and faith, I was able to climbed and reached the top. And indeed, it was a rewarding experience. On top, your eyes will be filled with the view of the town.


At 2:30 p.m., I attended the Mass (still with Madam Flor) celebrated by Fr. Joey Faller followed by the healing ceremony where Fr. Faller walked inside and outside the chapel with the exposition of the Blessed Sacrament along with the long white cloth symbolizing the Kamay ni Hesus.
