a walk down one of the streets of Taal town leads to a church not so grand as the Taal church. yet miraculous stories about the image of the Lady of Caysasay makes it one of the most mysterious.
some would call it Caysasay as others Casaysay. going back to my post on Taal church, i saw a bell with an encryption Casaysay which somehow made me wonder what really is its real name.
if one looks at this church, it's small and a bit ordinary. plain flooring but with nice stone walls and beautiful altar ceiling paintings. a top view shot won't disappoint a photographer.
expect kids to approach you for candles while some are just there to observe you and by chance even entertain you with their smile and questions. they will even convince you to visit the nearby church ruin and its miraculous spring.
a good stop when you visit the heritage town of Taal. it's just about 15minute walk from the plaza and about 10minutes from the Villavicencio house.

^ i second! Ü
because of those pics i am sorely tempted to get that dslr i want. haha.
loved the mural!!!
Indeed a magnificent church
the fresco on the ceiling is a great work! love also the details on the church ruins.
ang galing ng mga kuha dong. i say each church has its own charms.
do you believe that when you go visit a church for the first time the chances of getting your wish granted is very high?
Ibang klase talaga ang mga works of art lalo na sa loob ng mga old churches... jejejejejeje
I love the fresco painting! Reminds me of the magnificent cathedrals in Europe.
Hey so confirmed coming to SG?! Do let me know if you need help in your itinerary planning! How many days in SG?

travelerfolio@gmail.com if u need help in planning. Cheers!
Mexican influence could really be seen in our churches. But what impresses me are the paintings at the ceiling.
The church is definitely more interesting inside than outside. The paintings are amazing! I like the old ruins too.
Another splendid church! It's really worth seeing, wonderful pictures!
the frescoes are definitely enchanting, and the last 2 pics are excellent. this church looks new on the outside...how old is it?
the second pic.. it makes me in awe of the chapel
I also knew it as Caysasay. But I remember college classmates who were from Batangas, calling it Casaysay.
Naks naman! Namiss ko ang Caysasay Church...
Nagduty kami kasi dati sa Metro Lemery Medical Center at 'dun kami tumira nun sa Taal...
Ganda nga diyan!
