Monasterio De Tarlac

I forgot to share these pictures with all of you. They were taken about 5 or 6 months ago when my bebe and I went there. It's almost a 4 hour drive from Angeles City.

The Monasterio houses the relic of the True Cross of Jesus. The reliquary is open to the public for veneration every September 14 (This is the day when the entire Christian community celebrates the anniversary of the dedication of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Also, when the Vatican officially named the day in 1963 as the Feast of the Triumph of the Cross).

Liturgical services are held at 10 in the morning (for now, only 1 mass is celebrated so make sure to get there before 10 AM) by the monastic congregation of the Servants of the Risen Christ.



The Department of Tourism (DOT) in Central Luzon recently cited the Monasterio de Tarlac as "the most revered pilgrimage site" in the region. It is situated on top of a mountain.
