One of the best places to truly feel the experience of the Stations of the Cross is in Cebu, Philippines. There, you will not only walk far from station to station, but you will have to do it walking uphill. At Celestial Gardens, Banawa Hills, Cebu City — hundreds, if not thousands, go during the Holy Week and observe a tradition of walking through the Stations of The Cross.
