Easter Celebration 2012

The Lady of Manaoag Rosary Center

A taste of lechon to celebrate Easter!

Ice cream and cake for Easter!

It was finally Easter Sunday yesterday and as usual, most roads lead to the beaches or pools. But our family did the not-so-usual that day. No, we did not just stay home or go to the mall, we went to visit a shrine instead. It's the Our Lady of Manaoag Rosary Center located in Carmen, Cebu up north. It's actually the same image as of the Lady of Manaoag in Luzon. The plan was to go to the beach after but passing through coastlines along the road not one beach side was not full or crowded. So, we decided to stick with just visiting the shrine alone. There were three of us who visited the shrine for the first time and the rest of the family had been there before. We did the usual thing though and that was of course pray and wrote our petitions on a paper and drop it off together with an offering. After praying the Holy Rosary, we were all starving and had lunch on one of the sheds on the parking lot. Each one of us were carried an extra clothing just in case we'll make it to the beach but it was still okay even if it didn't push through. I believe, we celebrated in a more meaningful way through that visit and what's more important was we celebrated it as a family!

Happy Easter! :-)
