Majayjay Church



on our trip back from taytay falls, we still had time to pass thru this beautiful church of the town.

I was awed by the old structure and the prominence in comparison to the nearby houses and establishments. it looked like a grandmother overlooking her grandchildren.


We were amazed at how this humble town was blessed with such a cultural treasure.It had also gained entry to the conservation heritage society list. History is embedded in every crevice.

The original church was built in the 17th century, burnt down on 1711 and reconstructed to this still standing- art of a church.
The "pink " church has rose-colored bricks, stonewalls already covered with mosses, a towering retablo and i learned to have five bells more than a century old.
the sight of it is truly a dedication of faith.
