Lucban Quezon
Have you heard of kiping and parikitan? What about longanisa and pansit habhab? How about Kamay Ni Hesus Shrine?
Well, perhaps some of you who are fond of visiting places, sight-seeing and food tripping would say, “Lucban.” If you are one of them, you surely won’t miss exploring the town of Lucban and everything about it.
This town is a highly desirable place of distinct serenity. It happens to be a second-class municipality in the province of Quezon. It rests at the foot of the prestigious Mt. Banahaw. The local residents consider is a sacred mountain. It teems with legends and superstitions. Tourists come to Mt. Banahaw for trekking and adventure.
I consider Lucban as a big open museum. The place is oozing with history to the point that you can see National Historical Institute markers on the parks and churches of this town. Aside from its historical significance, the town of Lucban is also famous of its tourist spots. If you want to have a break from stressful life in the city, Lucban is just the right place to visit.
People from different places come to visit Lucban not only during summer vacation but also during Holy Week to visit Grotto or Kamay Ni Hesus Shrine. It is a healing center built under the initiative of Father Joey Faller, a gifted and well-known healing priest. The Shrine has become a popular tourist and field trip destination nowadays for its healing masses. One of the highlights of the visit to this grotto is the climbing of 321 steps on the right side and 301 steps on the left up to the top of the hill where a 50-foot statue of the Ascending Christ was erected.
Almost all of the tourists who visit Lucban do not miss to spend overnight at Batis Aramin. It is located across the Kamay ni Hesus Shrine. It’s a nature park spot for boating, swimming, camping, biking, trailing and so much more. This resort has a nice accommodation and the place is perfect for summer trip.
Lucban has two feast day, one every August 19 and the Pahiyas

    These sacred sites celebrate either the birth, life, or martyrdom of Saints or holy people. For example, Santiago de Compostela became a pilgrimage place after the apparent discovery of Apostle James remains. There isn’t any real evidence to support this claim, but many began to believe it to be true. The success in battles with reports of images of Santiago, led to these claims to gain traction. The importance of these sites are linked to Saints and other holy figures. Whether a Saint’s remains are entombed within the sacred place. Some places claim to have just a bone or a splinter of the Holy Cross. This draws many people, to be in the presences of such a holy relic. It also helps people to believe in legitimacy of the sacred place.…

    “As I passed through the gates I heard a squeaky voice. A diminutive middle-aged man came out from behind the trees — the caretaker. He worked a toothbrush-sized stick around in his mouth, digging into the crevices between algae'd stubs of teeth. He was barefoot; he wore a blue batik shirt known as a buba, baggy purple trousers, and an embroidered skullcap. I asked him if he would show me around the shrine. Motioning me to follow, he spat out the results of his stick work and set off down the trail.”…
