For the devout of Rizal, Pinagmisahan Hill is a sacred place where one can seek solace and spend their time in contemplation and prayer. Little by little, it has become known beyond the province and is now a regular destination of thousands of faithful every year.
Formerly known as "The White Cross," the place is now known as the Via Dolorosa on Pinagmisahan St., Antipolo City. The grotto-like hill is now a very spectacular pilgrim site where regular masses and “alay-lakads” are held.
On top of Pinagmisahan Hills are the enormous White Cross and the outsized image of the Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage. Life-sized images of the stations of the cross can be seen along the way to the top of the hill which sacredly reflect the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
