The percentage of Christian in Philippines is 91% according to Wikipedia. Actually it's true because even though we have different religions. Those religions are still Christian only the name is different. Most of the Filipinos are very religious, they're so devoted of their beliefs. They offered offering, sacrifices and celebration that is in the bible.
Just a little recap before Christianity arrived in the Philippines. Did you know that we, Filipinos used to praised the "sun", "tree's", "mountains", "river's" and many more.
Now that we became Christian I could say that we are faithful. We are not oblige to go to church every Sunday but something in our mind saying that we must go to church.
Despite from having a fever 3 days already now. My mother asked me to accompanied her in going to church. I wasn't really feeling well but I was afraid what will happen to her walking alone under the hot of the sun. The church distance from our house is approximately 1km. I was worried of her health, I was not that very ill like I can't even walk. So, I decided to go with her.
She said we couldn't light a candle inside so we must go into the other side. That part will allow us to light a candle because it's outside. After my mother prayed and lighted candles we went inside the church.
The flowers in the statue of Mother Mary really caught my eyes. I took another image of it to have a near capture.
I thought it was fake but when I touched it, it's real. Are you familiar of Mother Mary for sure. My mother wanted that her illness will really gone. But we all know that illness can't easily be gone now that she's old. What made it worse, she couldn't accept that this is really happening right now. But still I hope that she can feel okay and understand her situation.
Now she kneeled down, I felt sad for my mother but I'm thankful that she's still here with us despite from her age. That's why I did my best of the best to take care of her. Although I complaint sometimes but I never did refuse her of what she wanted me to do.
Did you know that everytime they recieved blessings from that land. They offers offering like food and wine. While they offers something they light a candle and kneel down as a sign of gratitude and praise.
You can founs these kind of action in the mountain that ia far from the town.
