It's Holy Thursday yesterday.
It commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus Christ.
Here in the Philippines, we have some traditions that we do during this day.
One is to cover pictures or statues of holy images to represent the death of Jesus Christ.
Another one is fasting, some people prohibit themselves of meat during the whole Holy Week.
and today,
We did the Visita Iglesia (Church Visit)
It is a practice done wherein we would visit 7 or more churches.
What we did is go inside the church, pray, light a candle, pass it to all family members, then pray again.
- The first Church we visited is Saint Joseph the Worker Parish.
- We then proceeded to San Antonio de Padua Parish
- Next is Santa Ana Church
- We also visited the city's oldest church. San Pedro Cathedral
- Saint Jude Thaddeus Parrish was also visited.
- We also went to the Redeptorist Church
- Last but not the least, Carmelite Monastery Church
It was my first time doing this; and I'm happy. I was a very nice experience. The churches has also shown different ways to show honor to Jesus Christ.
The Best!
