CEBU METROPOLITAN CATHEDRAL
Our photography group went for another photo shoot today and our goal was to visit some of the historical landmarks in Cebu City. Due to time constraints, we could not visit all but just a couple of them, so we started off at Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral. While waiting for other members to arrive, we started to shoot outdoor since nobody was allowed to shoot inside yet due to the ongoing wedding ceremony.
Located just few steps away from the Basilica de Santo Niño, the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral is the heart of the Archdiocese of Cebu. It's architectural design is similar to the other baroque colonial churches in the Philippines however at present, it's more of a modernized one compared to my last visit years back, which was more of the usual Spanish era style. Possibly because it has been rebuilt multiple times due to natural and man made calamities. But I like it though. The facade is much better than before.
The above photo is the church's Belfry, with Hazel Puerto, taking a picture of it
A view of the Belfry at the back with one of the church's lamp posts.
Closer look of the church bells.
Although there was an ongoing wedding ceremony, I was still able to zoom my lens and shoot one of the chandeliers hanging inside the church's ceiling. hehe
The candle lightning area found at the back of the belfry is new, so I took time to light one of the candles and prayed. I always believe on the saying that prayer may not change things for you, but it for sure changes you for things. And I also thank God for all the blessings I receive from Him, including the opportunity to travel, to share my views and opinions, to enhance my photography skills, for the gift of friends and family, and a lot more.
