On the southern route from Manila, the closest is the Shrine of Jesus in the Holy Sepulchre, located in Barangay Landayan in San Pedro town.
The shrine is a 2,016-square-meter church that houses the life-size wooden image of “Lolo Uweng,” a representation of the dead Christ that, as the story goes, fishermen found on the shore of Laguna de Bay in the 19th century.
At the back of the church is a 3-meter-deep well that never dries up. To this day, people come to draw water from this well whose water is believed to have healing powers.
