About Us
Hiraya is the 2021 Anniverzine (Anniversary Magazine) is a non-profit print and online literary and devotional journal of the Immanuel United Methodist Church, Lubiano Road, Lingsat, San Fernando City, La Union.
We created Hiraya Anniverzine (a variant of the word haraya from the Cebuano and Old Tagalog that means imagination and vision; the word also is a deeper form of “sana”; “Arapaap” in Ilocano) to be the light etched in the moments of silent battles and lost wars, and illuminate the unheard, the smallest and youngest despite the endings and beginnings, in-betweens that clouded our hopes and dreams; with God’s unending grace glistening like the brightest stars in the darkest of the nights, we hope that through Hiraya, you'll find fragments of light, love, faith and reassurance.
