Archdiocesan Shrine of the Blessed Sacrament - Santa Cruz, Manila City (Archdiocese of Manila)

This is another must-visit Catholic church in Manila, where you can feel a lot of the history of the deities and statues of former local saints, such as Quiapo. There is a very moving awakening session on faith, hope and charity here on Friday. My dad has been a member of the Holy Body since he was young. This is my second home, next to Quiapo Church. It is also a church that is memorable for my family. I recommend it to everyone.

The Our Lady of the Pillar Parish Church, commonly known as the Santa Cruz Church and also designated as the Archdiocesan Shrine of the Blessed Sacrament, is a baroque Roman Catholic parish church in the district of Santa Cruz, Manila, Philippines.

Today's schedule is simpler, and it's the only day that it hasn't rained. In the morning, I first visited a nearby large church. I saw people who prayed in the morning first dip clear water from the holy water tray held by the statue's hands and draw a cross on their bodies. Then some people sat quietly on long wooden chairs with their hands together or knelt forward. Some people touched the statues or their glass covers, such as the Christ statue, and prayed silently. The atmosphere was quiet and peaceful.

It's worth seeing. Unlike the Manila Cathedral, which is often closed, or the St. Austin Museum, which charges a fee, there are still plenty of people praying here.

This church is very famous in the local area. Every week there are many people here to worship.
