On the last day of my cousin's vacation here in Quezon Province, I decided to bring them at Kamay ni Hesus or known here as Grotto. They wouldn't believe when I said "it's a 200 plus-step stair to go up"... We went there for an exercise but unexpectedly, they loved the place! My cousin told me, "I didn't have take a bath yet, I wore slippers and shorts... you didn't tell me that there's so many people go here from other countries" Hahahaha. And to begin, here it is...
At the Garden of Eden
All figures and designs here are really based on the story on the Bible. Garden of Eden is the place where the "first people" lived.

| That's Ariel, Arman & Patrick |
and those people are Adam and Eve....
According to the creation myths of the Abrahamic religions, were the first man and woman. The story of Adamand Eve is central to the belief that God created human beings to live in a Paradise on earth, although they fell away from that state and formed the present world full of suffering and injustice. It provides the basis for the belief that humanity is in essence a single family, with everyone descended from a single pair of original ancestors. It also provides much of the scriptural basis for the doctrines of the Fall of man and Original Sin, important beliefs in Christianity, although not generally shared by Judaism or Islam.

Genesis 1:26 - And God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth".
My cousins were really surprised that they actually can feel the story into reality.
Let's Go to......NOAH'S ARK!!
This structure is very amazing! It made people feel Noah's time and what they've seen on televisions during Holy Week. Actually, they made this for the tourists, it's a Lodging.

Just like what the Bible stories, Noah was assigned by God to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, both male and female... and seven pairs of all the clean animals. (Genesis 7:2-3)
and just like the real size of those animals... it's perfect.
The Gate is waiting for us! Let's start this 200plus steps!!!
So I became a tourist guide to my cousins that day, and a story teller at the same time.
Jesus was Crucified because of our sins.
In every step, going to the top of this hill... Everything that God did for us is priceless. This place is Holy.
And we made it! We are here on top!
People came here to pray. Because they believe that God is healer,
He is our creator... He is our Savior!
It's such a nice feeling when you realize things and what God did for us.
Thank You for saving my soul.
I think my cousins enjoyed our bond that day!
I hope they realized something on that place.
And because it's not a joke to take a 200-step... time to feed our stomach!!!
Down there is a foodcourt where you can buy specialties of Lucban, Quezon.
One of those foods is Pancit Habhab! (but we ate burger...)
I also love their siopao!
Near that food court are stores of souvenirs! So I bought mine!
Thank you for your time to read this blog....
and my cousins experience during their vacation here in Quezon! \m/
I feel so blessed!
