For a lighter moment let me share with you some pictures I have of the Church in Caramoan, Camarines Sur. Although I have posted some pieces before about Caramoan, but let me do this again. Perhaps some of you who are planning to travel can consider Caramoan to your itinerary. Caramoan is known for its islands and beaches, but seldom do every one take notice that despite the remoteness of Caramoan it has one of the most beautiful brick church in the entire Bicol Peninsula and a wide courtyard. I would suggest that Bicol historians to explore the history of this municipality.
The Photo below shows the facade of the Church dedicated to St. Michael, the Archangel. The two niches below shows the image of Sts. Peter and Paul, patron saints of Rome and the apostles credited for having founded the Church in Rome.
My students, Richardson and Jose.
The Church has a spacious grounds and courtyard littered with Narra Trees and with statues and shrines. The Parish priest usually helps in cleaning the lawn. The altar boys also volunteer their services to help clean this spacious yard.
The Risen Christ. The church would have been beautiful if it had the old retablos. The parish priest is planning to restore the retablos. Because according to him that the reredos are more appropriate for the architecture of the church.
The statue and shrine of St. Joseph. I found this statue inspiring. It evokes awe and admiration for the greatest of all fathers.
