Saint Gregory the Great Parish, Indang
Founded in 1625, the Saint Gregory the Great Parish Church or Indang Church is one of the oldest churches in the province. It is named after it's patron saint Saint Gregory the Great which was a Pope of the roman catholic church during the last 6th century to the early 7th century. In the town of Indang, he is famously known by the locals at San Gregorio Magno.
Originally a chapel by the Jesuits, Indang Church has played a key role to the Philippine revolution when it has been burned down by the early Caviteños during the late 1800's. It was then rebuilt after the revolution to continue to serve as the Catholic Church in the upland town of Indang.
There was once an incident wherein the local parish priest has found a rolled-up painting together with some trash at the back of the church. He unrolled it and it unveiled a beautiful painting of the seven archangels which is now on display at the right side of the church. This grew a patronage to the seven archangels not just in the town of Indang but also among the Catholics of Cavite.
Super shot of the interior of Gregory's Church. What a lucky discovery the parish priest had! All is well so far here in Perth, being so isolated has its benefits. Even so if the rest of Australia goes into lockdown, Perth will probably follow. How are things in your part of the world?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, that is so nice of you! I definitely agree that remote places do have benefits especially nowadays in this situation. I am glad that all is well out there and hoping it will stay the same together as I hope that the rest of the world would be healed soon. Cases have been rising so as death toll, It's surely because of lack of test kits and preparation by the government and us citizens. But hopefully, as I see that people are starting to see the importance of staying home, the numbers will soon stop bubbling up.
