Finally, after our almost-6 hour travel from Quezon Province, we arrived safely in Bulacan. When we reached home, we only had an hour and a half to prepare for Christmas Holy Mass. Our Parish church has been closed for months because it was under construction. I've been away from home for a very long time now; clueless I was regarding the condition of our Parish.
So, Dad and I went to mass. The church is finally OPEN...everything is entirely different--the flooring, the seats, the lights, the altar, the lay people, ...., everything.
The church is now coated with white, silver, and gold. I could hardly imagine the Church's former "look."
I was amazed, dazzled by the glittered altar and elegantly painted walls of the church. But there's a part of me that misses the wooden-vintage feel.
The exterior of our Parish may now be coated with white, silver, or gold...But whatever "makeover" will come, no one could ever paint tradition.
