My World#74 (Philippine Churches Part 6): Church of San Juan Bautista
This is the church where our national hero, Dr. Jose P. Rizal, was baptized. The church was established in 1779. It has a beautiful glass mosaic of the first Filipino saint, San Lorenzo Ruiz, by its entrance door. Photo of the saint here.
In recent years, the church has added these sculptures on its front yard:
The Sacred Heart of Jesus
Jesus by the well with a sign that says "The Well of Renewal"
