MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – In 2012, Rappler introduced the Virtual Visita Iglesia, a new way of performing the classic Holy Week ritual of visiting churches and praying the Stations of the Cross there. 

Now Rappler presents the Virtual Visita Iglesia with a twist, using a 360-degree YouTube video produced by panoramic photographer Fung Yu.

Here’s more: For those with Google Cardboard, the new version of Rappler’s Virtual Visita Iglesia can also be experienced using this virtual reality platform.

The 360-degree Virtual Visita Iglesia brings us to 14 different churches across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. 

Featured music: The soundtrack used for the Stations of the Cross are taken from the album series “Vespers,” courtesy of Jesuit Communications. Those who wish to linger may choose to have the instrumental music continue playing for a few more minutes after each reading.

Songs include popular Catholic titles like “Tanging Yaman,” “Kunin Mo, O Diyos,” “Huwag Kang Mangamba,” and “Hindi Kita Malilimutan.”
