Visita Iglesia was introduced by the Spanish colonizers, goes back to the time of the early church where Christians would visit the seven great basilicas in Rome for the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament during Maundy Thursday.
For Filipinos, it’s not only the Blessed Sacrament but a contemplation of the fourteen stations of the cross. I get to observe the beautiful religious structures rich in history and architecture. Traditionally, seven churches are visited with two stations per visit. While others, with more time and effort, visit fourteen.
