Have made several posts about Lucban. That small landlocked town in the Southern part of Luzon. There’s posts here about the famous Pahiyas Festival; also a post which can help you select which hotel to stay in Lucban, and places to visit such as the Kamay ni Hesus Shrine.
And, definitely, I wouldn’t missed posting their centuries old church. The home of San Isidro de Labrador, the patron saint of Lucbanins.
Here’s the inscription which reads…
Looks narrow in the photo. But, it can surely accommodate devotees. We were lucky because we visited the town on a regular day. Whilst on Pahiyas Festival, devotees and tourists alike crammed the church.
Just as how the church’s facade manifest its antiquity, same as its interiors which are quite devoid of conspicuous adornment except for the huge chandeliers hanging above the high ceilings. The church’s enigma really draws pious devotees unto the altar.
On the side entrance, we caught up with this miniature construction (of their church) which is made from native products. It shows how rich the place is of plants that can become the source of many a products made there. More importantly, it shows the ingenuity of the locals in crafting products which are really export quality.
Before we bid our farewells to the small yet serene town of Lucban…an obligatory shot for me in front of the church…

Our visit may have been ephemeral…but the church’s enigma transcend beyond our memories…









I really enjoyed your photos! I haven’t been to this church ata…
So tiny a place, yet, it has tons of charisma.
The church looks historic at the front and elegant from the inside. Hope to visit this someday.
Schedule your visit in the summer. In time for Pahiyas which is a yearly festival.
That would be a nice visit.
This is in Quezon right? It’s amazing to know that they still manage to preserved the remains of this old church. Superb!
yes. In Quezon Province.
I like how the church looks like inside, but its exterior is more majestic!
Wish I can see the Lucban Church for myself some time soon. And oh, I’d love to attend the Pahiyas Festival given the chance.
Lucban sure looks like a very nice place! I wish I could visit this century old church one day ; )

I hope the people there continue to preserve the church of its rich history.
Lucban is not too far from manila but I haven’t had visited the place…Lovely photos here!
Sadly, I haven’t been to Quezon Province. I love the diorama of the church…it is creatively hand-crafted.
haven’t been there but if opportunity knocks I will make use of it
