Q Park, Compostela, Cebu

I am always into places where I can meditate and pray on a Black Saturday. And for this year, I and my friends have decided to spend our annual ritual in the beautiful Park situated in a far-flung barangay at Compostela, Cebu.

We started the pilgrimage by boarding on a multicab bound for Compostela and paid Php 20.00. The drop off area of Q-Park is across the Green Lagoon. From there, you have to ride a "habal-habal" or a motorcycle for hire. The fare is Php 30.00 each passenger so that makes it Php 60.00 back and forth. Q-Park is a 15 -minute ride from the highway. The terrain on your way up is quite dangerous because of the ravine plus there are no railings on the side. I didn't mean to scare you, but it's really worth the try.

We arrived high noon! So the sun is up the whole time.

We rested for awhile before starting the Way of the Cross.

After a much deserved rest, we said our prayers.

The pictures as follows are the Old "Stations of The Cross". There are 14 of them.

Station 1 - Jesus is Condemned to Death

Station II- Jesus Takes Up His Cross

Station III- Jesus Falls The First Time

Station IV- Jesus is Met By His Blessed Mother

Station V- Simon of Cyrene Helps Jesus Carry The Cross

Station 6- The Face of Jesus is Wiped by Veronica

Station VII- Jesus Falls The Second Time

Station VIII- Jesus Consoles The Women of Jerusalem

Station IX- Jesus Falls The Third Time

Station X- Jesus is stripped of His Garments

Station XI- Jesus is Nailed to The Cross

Station XII- Jesus Dies on The Cross

Station XIII- Jesus is Laid in The Arms of His Blessed Mother

Station XIV- Jesus is Laid in The Tomb

On Easter Sunday...

Station XV- The Resurrection of Jesus

After saying our prayers, we  roam around the area and feel God's presence. Happiness!

Cottages are available and there's no corkage!

We missed checking out the human maze and I've heard there's a cave! There's also a retreat house but off - limits to those who don't have reservations. So there you go, we have more reasons of going back most especially this amazing sight. People, go head North!
