Field of Faith

August 9, 2013;  It's another day-off from work in celebration of the end of Ramadan and the first day of  the Islamic month of Shawwal known to us as Eidul-Fitar.  We took this opportunity to drive to Calauan Laguna and search for the Field of Faith known to the locals simply as rosary garden.


Upon reaching the place, one can feel the solemnity and peacefulness of the place.  A pilgrimage site for those looking for a place for prayer and meditation.  One can pray the rosary by walking the path from Joyful, Sorrowful, Luminous and Glorious mysteries.  Written along these paths were inspiring quotes that one can mediate on.  A luminous cross on top of the hill, Stations of the Cross nailed to the coconut trees and a Shekinah wishing walls can truly help you find God and your inner self.





You can also trace the Labyrinth path, tile per tile, for meditation and prayer.  Labyrinth walk is the western style of prayer and meditation for the early Christians.



We were truly blessed that we came across this private garden in the town of Calauan.
