  • THE DIVINE MERCY HILL OF EL SALVADOR, MISAMIS ORIENTAL
    A 68-foot statue of Christ ala Brazil's Rio de Janeiro towers over the Divine Mercy Hill in the town of El Salvador in the province of Misamis Oriental. Every Holy Week, devotees flock to this site, up the 70 steps of the massive statue, into the tabernacle holding the Blessed Sacrament. Completed in 2008, the view here sweeps across the Macalajar Bay where sunrise is said to be extraordinary, particularly on the next Sunday after Easter.
    On this exact day, the Feast of the Divine Mercy, a phenomenon known as the Dancing Sun occurs at this very site. Thousands and thousands of people cover almost every inch of the 9-hectare grounds to witness this spectacle. It is said that at sunrise, the sun appears to sway from side to side, twinkling and giving off iridescent rays. Many swore to have seen it, even getting it on cam.
    But you don't have wait for the Feast of the Divine Mercy to go to the Hill. Every day is as good a day as any for a visit. Aside from the massive statue, there's also the Divine Mercy Church which is notable for its facade featuring a crown of thorns. It holds regular masses and daily confessions and also serves as a popular venue for spiritual retreats. For reasons that I know not, weddings aren't allowed in this particular church.
