"The renowned "castle church," Simala Shrine, is a top destination in Cebu. It's often part of a pilgrim's Visita Iglesia during Lenten season, but during other days of the year, it's still crowded. Many devotees light up colored candles depending on their need: gold for healing, green for prosperity, blue for perseverance, and red for love, among others. Given that it is still a traditional church, sleeveless clothes and shorts are not allowed within the premises. "
