THE CLEANSING WATERS - This is the Lagnas River where the locals would light candles in front of Sta. Lucia's image and then bathe to the cold rushing waters of the river to be cleansed. It also serves as a preliminary stage pf preparation before heading to the Husgado Cave and Kalbaryo. As per our schedule, we made it here after we hiked and went inside the cave for the sole purpose of cleaning ourselves. According to an article we found, Jews would wash up before entering a certain temple because they believe that temples are sacred and holy places free from impurities and uncleanliness.
