GROTTO EMPTY

 

 

 

Since its opening to the public on February 11,1965,Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto Shrine, just 30 kilometers northeastern part of Manila in San Jose Del Monte,Bulacan used to attract thousands of devotees,pilgrims as well as tourist during the Holy Week ( which is around the corner ) offering prayers,lighting candles and meditating in front of the Station of the Cross at the Rosary Hill are now turning to video connection for a church services. Photo shows that the Church is totally in lockdown as the Government directives that large congregations are banned and instead tune-in to online masses.BENJAMIN CUARESMA
