FINAL DESTINATION - Standing on the mountain are the members of Group 4 as they finish the trek to Mt. Kalbaryo. There are countless rocks there that devotees bring with them during the hike as a symbolism of their sacrifice. They believe that the sacrifice they're making are similar to how Jesus Christ carried His cross on top of Mt. Calvary to save the human race from their sins. Also, according to the facilitators, they believe that Mt. Kalbaryo itself is where Jesus carried His cross and where He died! In our Church's belief, this type of "sacrifice" is discouraged because according to them, Jesus' sacrifice isn't meant for people to recreate but as a reminder that we should turn away from sin, have full faith in Him, and believe in His word.
