Holy Week as we all know is the week before Easter, starting on Palm Sunday. It commemorates the events of our Lord's last week before His death. Holy Week, together with Easter, is the most sacred part of the Christian calendar -- the celebration of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
We have our different ways of observing Holy Week. Aside from churches, the place where one would probably see the most number of people during Holy Week is the beach. While the Catholic Church understands that families are looking at the holidays as an opportunity to take a vacation and bond, the faithful, however, are not excused from performing their religious obligations. I think even if we are on vacation mode, we can still find time to go to church.
For most Sudlonians, especially those who are in the city, working, or even outside Cebu or the Philippines, it’s the best time to come home to Sudlon and spend time with family and friends. Sudlon is the perfect place to get some fresh air (especially now that it’s summer), get away from all the stress and worries, and just relax and... reflect.
But if you were to be asked, what is Holy Week for you? How do you intend to spend the Holy Week? Are you going to spend it some R&R or you have other things in mind? Please share your thoughts by answering the poll below or posting a comment.
