List of Churches In Cavite For Visita Iglesia
Visita Iglesia is one of the traditional religious activity done by Filipinos every Lenten season (Maundy Thursday and Good Friday in particular) where they will attempt to visit seven different churches and recite the Station of the Cross with them. Some will even attempt to visit fourteen churches to symbolize all the fourteen stations. Considering that the majority of religion in the Philippines is Roman Catholic, the country has so many churches to offer and Cavite alone is just a perfect spot for pilgrimage.

I have heard a lot about Cavite and glad that the place comes with different churches one can visit. I just wonder though if how long does the distance of these churches have towards each other? I hope each church isn’t that hard to visit whenever you want to jump from one church to another.
