It's been a while since the last time I visited Spanish churches in our Province. That some of them was already featured from my previous post. Actually I already made a short introduction about Lupit church a month ago. But, I wasn't able to provide enough pictures with clear images because of my dead screen camera. As a continuation this time I will be sharing new set of photos and additional information about the place. These are the religious figures that can be found with in the vicinity of Lupit Church. It also visible to most of the Cathedrals, Shrines and other Catholic Churches.

If you visited or about to visit any catholic churches you will notice hanging picture frames, paintings, wood carvings, or even structures in sequence. Labeled with Roman numerals from I,II,III,IV,V upto XIV it is called " The 14 Stations of the Cross ". It represents the life of Jesus Christ here on Earth as a living human and before he was crucified to death. Each station portrays different stories and different encounter of Christ to his beloved people. Through art presentation like religious figures, the execution of message to convey people are strengthen at some point.

" The Art of Religion "
Five months ago when I started visiting multiple Spanish old churches here in Negros. I learned how magnificent is the art of religion. Where the interior facade are extremely gorgeous, precise carving details and one of a kind structure formations. Which really boosts my desire to explore more not only in my province. But, to the rest of the places I could possibly visit someday. I want to feature every single details about it, because the Art related with religion is something special that someone should be proud of. At same time the hidden stories behind the century old structures are very interesting to learn.
I also want to figure out progressively and improved my knowledge about Spanish influences to our culture as a Filipino. Then I know there are things that needed thorough explanation or deep observations. In order for me to fully understand the information I collected through my experiences.
