STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN

LOOK: Climbing around 252 steps was a bit of a challenge to reach the top of the Lourdes Grotto in Baguio City, but it was well worth the climb to pay homage to Mama Mary. Established by the Spanish Jesuits in 1907, the Grotto sits at the top of the hilly western part of the town, offering a nice view of the city's rooftops and a sacred wooden chapel where people can light a candle and pray peacefully on Tuesday, 17 December 2024.
