The St. Louis, Bishop of Tolouse Parish Church aka The Parish of St. Isidore Labrador aka The Lucban Church



































































































































































































































































































The Church of Lucban. This is the parish of Saint Louis, Bishop of Tolouse aka the parish of St. Isidore Labrador aka Lucban Church. This church was first constructed in 1595 but was ruined by fires in different occasions. The present church was completed in 1738.
The interior was immacualately white and I was amazed with the statue of St. Louis, the Bishop of Tolouse. Even the statue of St. Isidore, the Labrador as well as paintings at the ceiling of the dome was marvelous.
After , before entering inside, there was even a man clad in hays similar to a scarecrow. He was moving and exhibiting dance movements. People or the crowd will toss coins in his upside down straw hat.
Definitely, I will be coming back for more...
