Holy Week in the Philippines is something so different, and so actively participated. As we joined in the 2 hour procession, we see the devotion the people have, the fervour with which they practiced their faith.To the Filipino people, Mother Mary is an integral part of every season, and so she is right there next to Jesus before He expired and right there when He rose. In the parish this is depicted visually with both Mary and Jesus images near the altar.
Then on Holy Saturday, the ministries continued with the adults and children. Here we acted out a scene when the apostles found that Jesus is gone. (I'm in pink, as Mary) And a rare moment of picture taking with the children (this is only less than half of them)
