Morong Church
Posted on May 19, 2007
I never knew that a church this elegant exists along the Laguna Loop area. It was my friend Gian of Iloilo on Foot told me about the beautiful church of Morong. I then quickly searched the Internet for some photos of it, and yes, I was so amazed at its beauty.
The Church of San Geronimo in Morong is one of the most photographed churches along the Laguna Loop area. Its facade and its belfry has intricate details which can make you feel breathless. an inexplainable feeling of joy enceloped me when I first sat my foot (my injured foot!) in this church.
History tells us that this church was built in its present location in 1620. The belfy and the facade was renovated in 1850-53. The church interiors also got a facelift in the 1962. The orignal church in Morong was said to have been buily by the Chinese craftsmen as evidenced by the Fu Dogs at the entrance.
