Holy Week 2013

It is our family tradition to spend the Holy Week in our home than to celebrate it somewhere else. This year, we celebrated the Holy Week differently because we had visitors from San Juan Batangas, my mom's hometown. 

Every year, we're able to witness what they call " PENITENSYA". 

This is the THIEF.

(I'm scared of this character of Penitensya when I was little. There was one time he stole our grilled fish and seafoods just to portray his character well. FUNNY THOUGH) 

The man who played as Jesus Christ. 

the JEWS

Pontius Pilate

Jesus Christ being hit 

I'm sorry for my get up. I was really home-bound that time and I was not prepared to go out anytime. 

I was with my cousin, Erika.

My Dad went to Cainta, Rizal to have a picture of the real crucifixion of Christ. 

I'm thankful that my Dad didn't asked me to go with him that time 'cause I can't take this kind of scene. :'( sorry Lord for my sins :( 

It's Good Friday and the people of Taytay, Rizal were busy for the procession of the AMBA. 

They're the people who will carry the AMBA during the procession. It's their sacrifice for the Holy Week. They're wearing white shirt and they will just walk with bare foot. 

Even the old people were really busy for the procession. 

Images of Christ and Blessed Virgin Mary. 

the BAND

Santo Entierro. this is the AMBA. 

This one's for sure. Thank you for loving and saving us. 

Jesus died for us. He did that for YOU and ME. for US. He saved our lives at all cost. Wanna know the reason why? 'cause He loves each one of us UNCONDITIONALLY. Let's be all thankful for Him. To GOD be the GLORY. 

Love,
