Holy Week

A Holy Week is a time to commemorate the death and sufferings of Christ on the cross. It's a time of repentance and reflections of our sins. Do penance, fasting and abstinence. It starts on Palm Sunday and ends on the day before Easter.
Philippines is one of the largest Catholic believer country, some part of our country were people do sacrifice and penance by whipping themselves and some people crucify themselves on the cross on Good Friday. Do fasting and abstinence from the beginning of the Lenten season. On Good Friday Families were pray together, gather together like Christmas time. It's every solemn time of the year, so quiet... even in Cebu it's one of the biggest city in the Philippines and i've been there alot of times during Holy Week and every Good Friday most of the business companys, stores were closed and only few cars on the street we even ended up sometimes walking going to a place where we pray and do station of the cross but it's part of sacrifice not even enough compare to the sufferings of Christ just to saves us from our sins. But it's relieving... say a prayer, reflect for our sins and do penance is relieving and lighten our spirit.
