EN: Church
The building you only see the inside of during Christmas, Easter, and when your tita forces you to go to Simbang Gabi. It's the place for weddings, baptisms, and the occasional 'misa de gallo.' Whether it's the grand Manila Cathedral or the local chapel, the 'iglesya' is a landmark in every Pinoy town.
From Spanish 'iglesia' (church), from Latin 'ecclesia', from Ancient Greek 'ἐκκλησία' (ekklēsía, 'assembly').
'Simbahan' is a more common synonym for the building, while 'Iglesya' can also refer to a specific denomination (e.g., Iglesia ni Cristo).
