Minglanilla Church, Cebu
The Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (or the Most Pure Heart of Mary) was built from 1880 to 1886. The church is a Gothic confection- the flame-like arches, painted domes of the bell towers and spires and flying buttresses which blend with the semi-circular arched portals. The geometric forms and the trefoil arch suggest possible Muslim influence.
One of the best-known crowd-drawing Christian Lenten rites in Central Visayas is the annual Easter Sunday pageant called Sugat (Cebuano for “encounter”), which reenacts the meeting between the risen Christ and His grieving mother. It features children as angels with wings sparkling with lights, slowly sliding down invisible wires from a pulley system onto the church entrance and altar.
