Adoration Monastery of Mama Mary


 Marangog, Hilongos, Leyte


   Aside from old churches to visit, one of the most visited Churches in Hilongos is the Adoration Monastery of Mama Mary located at Marangog, Hilongos, Leyte.
      Aside from its high ground view, its chill atmosphere brought by its altitude forces you to wear your jackets.



      Because it has been built lately, and was still even ongoing for beautification, it's design has been also modernized.

A lot of people visit this place for them to see monks, pray good wishes, and sometimes to just enjoy the view, loosening up the stress within.

         

     Well, this place has been known to be sacred. Therefore, loud people shouldn't be tolerated, but to be thrown outside. It is because people there believed that silence draws grace from being calm and conscious. Aside from that, monks used to pray there everyday. So as to keep undestructed, silence is a must. 


This is a holy ground and people respect its holiness.
