I
stood
in
the
cool,
dim
interior
of
San
Agustin
Church,
my
hand
on
my
son's
shoulder,
and
felt
a
wave
of
nostalgia
wash
over
me.
I
had
visited
this
venerable
church
many
times
throughout
my
childhood,
its
towering
yellow
facade
and
intricate
carvings
etched
into
my
memory.
Today,
I
was
returning
with
my
own
son,
eager
to
share
this
piece
of
my
heritage
with
him.
As
I
walked
through
the
church,
my
son's
eyes
widened
in
awe.
He
marveled
at
the
intricate
details
of
church
interiors,
the
gilded
altarpieces
depicting
scenes
from
the
life
of
Christ.
He
traced
his
fingers
along
the
cool
stone
walls,
imagining
the
countless
prayers
that
had
echoed
within
these
halls
over
the
centuries.
I
pointed
out
the
statue
of
Our
Lady
of
Consolation
and
Cincture,
the
patron
saint
of
Intramuros.
Outside
the
church,
we
strolled
through
the
cobblestone
streets
of
Intramuros,
taking
in
the
sights
and
sounds
of
this
historic
district.
As
our
visit
came
to
an
end,
I
felt
a
sense
of
fulfillment.
I
had
shared
a
piece
of
my
childhood
with
my
son,
introducing
him
to
the
beauty
and
significance
of
San
Agustin
Church
and
the
historic
district
of
Intramuros.
