The Kamay ni Hesus Healing Church, also known as the Healing Church of the Risen Christ and commonly known as the Kamay ni Hesus Shrine, is a Roman Catholic church and tourist destination found along the Lucban-Tayabas Road in barangay Tinamnan, Lucban, Quezon province, Philippines under the supervision of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lucena.[1] [2]

History

The construction of the shrine and the surrounding complex commenced in February 2002 and was built through donations and an inheritance received by its founder.[1] The shrine was temporarily closed in 2020 and 2021 due to travel restrictions in connection to community quarantine measures but was reopened in 2022.[3] [4]

Features

The shrine has a healing chapel where masses are conducted.[5] The chapel has a capacity of 1,000 people but has encountered instances where overcrowding occurs.[6] A building dubbed as the "healing dome", subsequently named as the Healing Church of the Risen Christ, was completed in November 2022.[7] [8] Near the church and chapel is a hill containing scenes depicting the way of the Cross and a statue depicting the ascension of Jesus.[9] [10] [11] The shrine also has an outdoor museum containing replicas of Biblical events and characters.[9]
