Heritage Pilgrimage: To Churches Declared as National Cultural Treasures

Heritage Pilgrimage: To Churches declared as National Cultural Treasures
May 16 to 17, 2014

Heritage Churches have been at the forefront of Philippine history as a tool in furthering Christianity in the archipelago. The Philippines is home to hundreds of centuries-old Spanish colonial churches, more than forty (40) of which have been declared as National Cultural Treasures (NCT). Most of these churches were built during the Spanish colonial rule and are mostly a fusion of European and Asian architectural motifs.

Presidential Decree No. 374 describes a National Cultural Treasure as "a unique object found locally, possessing outstanding historical, cultural, artistic and/or scientific value which is significant and important to this country and nation."

As the Heritage Pilgrimage aims to promote "awareness" for the sites for their historical, artistic and architectural interests, it also strongly recognizes and acknowledges that these more than 40-Heritage Churches have a strong tradition of religious meaning - for devotion, healing and spiritual significance for the majority of the Filipino People.
