My World#17 Via Cruces, Old Vulcan, Camiguin
Via Cruces or Way of the Cross is found at the slopes of the Old Vulcan, Bonbon, Camiguin. A popular destination during Lenten season, it is where fifteen stations of life-size figures depicting the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is located.
At the fourteenth station, a sepulchre was carved out of the volcanic rocks depicting the burial of Jesus Christ.
The climb takes about one hour going up but it is all worth it as the view at the top is spectacular.
For those who plan to climb this walkway, bring water as it could get very hot out there more especially during summer days.

I have wanted to take a peek of these, but we ran out of time when we were there. Maybe next time. Nice of you for showing us these.
P.S. about the dirty kitchen, I also dreaded it when we cousins have to do the cooking at the dirty kitchen at our lola's house. LoL
My goodness, what a beauty. Looking at the pictures, its telling me I am so ignorant about my home country. The sculptures are just so amazing. Thank you for these pictures.
I do believe that is the island home of the wife of a dear friend. I enjoyed seeing it.
so very interesting
What a beautiful walk that must be.
A spectacular view from the top and a very interesting post. It must be a very impressing sight when the faithful are moving up the mountain praying and singing.
That destinantion is quite interesting. I used to participate in via cruces in Venezuela around the villages, not like yours but was great too.
Thanks for sharing your world.
Now and Then.
I imagine that it must be very crowded, and have an intense atmosphere at this time of year.
what a beautiful walk and the sculptures are great. liked your commentary and photos. the one of christ on the cross with the sun behind...beautiful shot.
What a wonderful post for Holy Week. The view at the end is fantastic.
Beautiful world you live in! And the climb is worth the effort. A beautiful way to depict the stations of the cross. Thanks for stopping by my world.
I love that trail, and the view from the top is definitely worth it!
a perfect post for this holy week. I like the photo with Jesus against the blue sky the best.
Fascinating. I'm sure this area sees a lot of visitors.
Thanks for the visit to My World on my blog.
You weren't kidding about a spectacular view! It looks well worth the climb. And the statuary is beautiful, too. Perfect timing for this post.
i only went halfway there because of time limitations but i will finish the course when i get back there in that beautiful island.
have a meaningful lenten season to you and GOD bless us.
You're right - the view is incredible.
Thank you for this tour as we approach Easter weekend! What a beautiful site to hike, appreciate the statuary, and enjoy water views!

Wow amazing, I haven't been in there! I've been in this kind of thing, though, the 14 stations thingy.
