| Description: | While I am not sure if such a word already exists, the term refers to my fondness to the majestic architecture of some of the Philippine religious structures-- a loanword from the Greek root "ecclesio-" meaning "church" and "-philia" meaning "love." However, the word "ecclesiophobia" was officially introduced by the medical world and means otherwise. I mostly fancy the façades of various antebellum Roman Catholic churches scattered across the country for their splendid European influences. And yes, this is the sane me. Or not. |
