Binondo Church

Manila Top 4 in Important Religious Institution

i love church :))

Binondo Church, also known as Minor Basilica of St.Lorenzo Ruiz and Our Lady of the Most Holy RosaryParish , is located in the District of Binondo, Manilafronting Plaza San Lorenzo Ruiz, in the Philippines. This church was founded by Dominican priests in 1596[1] to serve their Chinese converts to Christianity.[2] The original building was destroyed in 1762 by British bombardment. A new granite church was completed on the same site in 1852 however it was greatly damaged during the Second World War, with only the western facade and the octagonal bell tower surviving.

From the appearance point of view, this church should be very historical, but the interior decoration has been replaced by modern styles, especially the ceiling frescoes, which are like ordinary paintings, lacking a sense of history. The Binondo Church is located in the Binondo district of Manila. It is a very beautiful church. The ceiling inside the church has a full wall of frescoes, and the front of the church is a garden foot square.

In order to ensure that we can arrive at the airport in advance, today's event arrangement is simpler, and it is the only day that does not rain. In the morning, I first visited the nearby black church. I saw that the people who prayed in the morning first took clear water from the holy water tray held by both hands of the statue of the saint and crossed their bodies, and then some of them sat quietly on long rows of wooden chairs with their hands together or moved forward. Kneeling.

It felt so special when I heard the name, so I specially arranged a time to come and have a look. It’s free, the church’s carvings are very exquisite, the inside is very spacious and bright, the cathedral has 5 doors, if you have time, you can come and see
