Sky Skraper

 

You can take everything I have

You can break everything I am

Like I'm made of glass

Like I'm made of paper

Go on and try to tear me down

I will be rising from the ground

Like a skyscraper

Like a skyscraper

As the smoke clears

I awaken

And untangle you from me

Would it make you

Feel better

To watch me while I bleed

All my windows

Still are broken

But I'm standing on my feet

St. John Don Bosco Church Makati

I normally passed by this church upon entering Makati from the south skyway. And indeed fascinated by its arched roof that covered the church.

It was only the other day when we decided to drop by and visit to see the church's interior. I won't forget that one sunny Sunday almost getting dark when we went to see this place.

There are a lot of people going in and out of the church gate since it is a Sunday and the area is indeed busy.

As I came closer to the church, my eyes were captivated by the interior design. It's dome is like a giant crusty waffle ceiling perfectly cooked and ready to eat. The altar was all lighted and with all the glitter as it was during high mass when we arrived. 

I took photos of course lots of them actually that will definitely share here in my blog😊.

One of the unique features of the St. John Bosco Church is its iconic Waffle Dome. The Waffle Dome is a structural element that distinguishes this church from others, as it resembles a waffle-shaped design with intricate patterns. This dome adds a touch of modernity to the church's architecture while still maintaining a sense of reverence and spirituality.

The Waffle Dome is not only visually striking but also serves a functional purpose. It allows natural light to filter through, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere within the church. Additionally, its design helps with the effective distribution of sound during religious ceremonies, ensuring that everyone can hear and participate fully in the mass. The dome truly adds a unique and memorable touch to the overall ambiance of St. John Bosco Church.

This remarkable architectural feature, combined with the church's rich history and dedication to serving the community, makes St. John Bosco Church a cherished place of worship for both locals and visitors alike.

iStariray23 Photos- Glorietta @ Dusk

I took a stroll looking for Eng Bee Tin Hopia and we made a quick turn in this area....

It is so refreshing to see trees in the middle of a skyscraper jungle in Makati City.
