sTatiOn Of tHe cRoSs - AnTipOlO ciTy

PINAGMISAHAN HILL (VIA DOLOROSA) Pinagmisahan - Via Dolorosa. On the highest peak along Kaytikling Road, the White Cross of Pinagmisahan Hills majestically stands calling pilgrims to relive the saving grace of a procession and Holy Mass with the miraculous icon of the Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage to protect them from the deadly Cholera plague that took lives of many residents at the foot of its hills and surrounding towns. Today, to reach the White Cross, one will go through life-sized images of the stations-of-the-cross - to contemplate passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. A popular destination during Lent.
Formerly known as "The White Cross," the place is now known as Via Dolorosa at Pinagmisahan St., Antipolo City. The grotto-like hill is now a very spectacular pilgrim site where regular masses and “alay-lakads” are held. On top of Pinagmisahan Hills are the enormous White Cross and the outsized image of the Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage. Life-sized images of the station-of-the-cross can be seen along the way to the top of the hill which sacredly reflect the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
