Holy Week in Sudlon 2: Good Friday - Stations of the Cross


Good Friday commemorates the passion, or suffering, and death on the cross of the Lord, Jesus Christ. Many Catholics/Christians spend this day in fasting, prayer, repentance, and meditation on the agony and suffering of Christ on the cross.

In Sudlon (Sudlon 1, Sudlon 2 and its neighboring barangays), people observe a tradition of walking through the Stations of The Cross (or Way of the Cross; in Latin, Via Crucis) on Good Friday. It may be done at any time, but is most commonly done during the Season of Lent, especially on Good Friday and on Friday evenings during Lent. The object of the Stations is to help the faithful to make a spiritual pilgrimage of prayer, through meditating upon the chief scenes of Christ's sufferings and death.

Sudlonians gathered in Sitio Botong Chapel and started walking and stopping at every station until reaching the church in Sitio Tabla. Here are some more pictures for you to get an idea on how was the Stations of The Cross in Sudlon.
