These are some photos I captured during our visit to Padre Pio Mountain of Healing.

My last visit here was I think 2019 before the lockdown. And that time there still have no church. Now I'm amazed that they improved the place.
There are 2 churches there now.
1 at the bottom of the mountain, and 1 at the back of the 50-foot statue.

"Kamay Ni Hesus" means Hands of Jesus
One of the best spot to take pictures with someone we love.

There are lots of rosaries here. Around the bottom of 50-foot statue (see last picture) and in other fences. I don't know if visitors put it there or it is a part of the architecture plan. But that's so many, thousand of rosaries are there. It is like the padlocks I saw in some movies, but here, it's rosaries.

Candle Station

We can stick candles here to pray for someone who's dead or someone sick that needs to be healed. And also for praying for something else like wishing to pass the board exam, to be pregnant and alikes.

You got an eye @deythedevil! amazing photos! I'm not really a fan of black and white photography but you made me change my mind... There is this sense of simplicity, nostalgia and mystery with the photos you had.

Thank you so much for your beautiful comment. I'm so happy that I changed someone perspective about black and white photography. Next time I will do better for other else to find the beauty in black and white photography. Have a beautiful day to you and thank you so much again.
