The Churches of Bohol (Part I)

be built was filled with people who were willing to work or donate something for its construction. What ensued was a very beautiful permanent edifice patterned after those churches in Spain and Mexico, replete with art and symbolic piety.

But what really caught my attention were the marvelous paintings on the church's ceilings and walls, which remained intact in spite of age or of the war years. I knew from my heart that behind those church walls and paintings was a facet of history that still awaits discovery.

A short distance from the church is a yet undiscovered paradise - the Sta. Fe beach. Blue water laps at the edges of the Sta. Fe beach for as far as the eye can see. The tranquility of the shore was only disturbed by the occasional laughter of children swimming and the occasional return of fishing boats.

The beach was perfect for a short nap, but I had to move on to my next destination - the Loboc Church.

... next week... part II of my journey to Bohol
