For most filipino catholic families,the holy week is very important,as we celebrate our holy week this coming week these are the diffirent tradition of the filipino during the holy week that are important part of our lives.

Most of our fellowmen going home in province to be there family because it long weekend,they want to be there family during this holidays.

Lets start here;

Palm sunday

The palm mass is held during the last sunday where about to start the holy week.almost all catholics going to church attend the mass and after the mass there will be a blessing and they wave thier palms.But during the pandemic the palm mass stop for a while after 2 years thanks god they resume again,

Reading of the Passion of christ (Pabasa)

The reading of the passion of christ was usually done in the provinces but now it is done in churches in the city.The reading of the passion of christ starts after the palm mass,this is one of the popular tradition of the filipinos during holy week.I attend this before somewhere in muntinlupa city,that was my first and last attend pabasa,never happen again.

Crucifixion

The crucifixion is a dramatization to remember the suffering of christ before he was crusified,penance becomes part of crucifixion and sometimes other people crusified as happened to christ so that they can show thuer remorse for thier sin.

Visita Iglesia(Way of the cross)

The church visit is usually done during thursday or maundy thursday and good friday. Some people go to diffirent churches to pray and remember the suffering that Jusus christ is going through.They will visit atleast 7 or more churches.

And last but not the least the

Easter sunday

This day is most awaited of all Catholics because it is the resurrection of jusus christ.Most of filipino catholics family wake up early to welcome the resurrection there will be also a dramatization of the encourter of virgin mary and jesus christ there acting also like an angel.After the dramatization there will be a thanksgiving mass then egg hunting contest.

During holy week there will be a family bonding because they dont have work its long weeken.So each family take advantage of thier togetherness,some went to beach,mall or goes picnic.

That all for now read cash family.Please take care to those who travel to thier provinces,godbless you all..HAPPY HOLIDAYS
