It has been a long week with security matters and because they are of security, they cannot be published. At least not for now. We visited a place in Manila called Intramuros that is surrounded by a block wall that encloses old Cathedrals dating back to the 1500's and other things like shops, hotels and restaurants. Of course the churches have been rebuilt several times due to hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, typhoons and fires. The Manila Cathedral is the oldest which will be pictured here. It is very ornate. There were rooms surrounding the chapel with exhibits of history and explanations of the organization of a diocese and how the front of the church is arranged and where the organ is at the top back where the choir sings. There were also explanations of the Virgin Mary and about their views of Immaculate conception. It was very interesting.
