Kamay ni Hesus Shrine, Quezon Province

May of 2011, we set off for a day trip to the province of Quezon to experience Pahiyas Festival. Also situated in Lucban, we headed for the Shrine of Kamay ni Hesus to catch the morning mass and also to explore the entirety of the grotto.

#Throwback: Pahiyas Festival of Lucban, Quezon

It was my first summer of being a "corporate slave" last May of 2011 and I was itching to go somewhere. After my first solo out of town trip to witness a passion play of Jesus' crucifixion at San Pedro Cutud in Pampanga, I was psyched to do more solo explorations. Being a loyal lurker at Pinoyexchange forums, I joined a big group of travelers who were planning to head there for a day trip. Since there were almost fifteen joiners of the tour, it turned out I will only need to shell out less than 350 pesos for round trip transportation from Manila to Lucban. There was no way in hell that I could turn down this opportunity.

Welcome to Pahiyas... 2011! (Time travel? lol)
