Festivity will start on
Palm Sunday when everyone goes to church with palm leaves and listen to
the mass and prepare for a week long celebration after. Then come
Monday until Wednesday, we go to the office, do our regular chores, but
in a more prim manner. Loud music is out of the question, drinking and
going to bars- DEFINITELY a no-no... This is the time to reflect and to
do fasting.This is the perfect time to forgive and forget.
On Maundy Thursday, Filipinos will attend the mass and pray together as we remembered the day Christ started suffering for our sins. Catholics observe the Station of the Cross, and it has been their tradition to visit as many churches as they can by walking. Others will just be in their respective homes as they sing Passion.
Good Friday is when you can see Penitents who reneact how Jesus was nailed in the Cross, wherein these people would also put barbed wires as their crowns, walks down the streets carrying that cross that weights a ton.
On Black Saturday when Jesus is still dead, Filipinos still continue with the fasting to somehow suffer for what He did for us.
And as soon as sunrise hits on Easter Sunday, Filipinos go to church together, and celebrate as Christ has risen from death. The birth of NEW LIFE, so we rejoice in that Day and we have somehow adopted westernized culture, we now have Easter EGG hunting on this memorable day.
