Because the church is called “The National Shrine of our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary of Manaoag,” it is but natural that there is a Rosary Park within the grounds of the church. Located just beside the Candle Station, this park is the summarized version of the rosary, and yes, the park wasn’t there just for decoration. There is a ceremony that one must do while inside the park.

A ceremony that sadly and regrettably we weren’t able to do because it was getting late and there were some rainshowers. Actually, the park is under renovation the time we were there. Too many branches and leaves scattered around, so we just circled the park and said a little prayer as we left.

*** the instructions on how to go around the park ***

*** our lady of manaoag ***

*** a few sculptures that depicts the several mysteries of the rosary ***

*** the bridge over a man made lagoon in the middle of the park ***

I couldn’t say I enjoyed the whole park experience because I wasn’t able to do the ceremony. Hopefully next time we could do it, after all, Aunt Julie is a devotee of Our Lady of Manaoag so for sure we will be here over and over again.

Happy weekends everyone!
