DID YOU KNOW: 5 Fascinating Holy Week Traditions in the Philippines 🇵🇭
Holy Week in the Philippines is a vibrant celebration filled with unique traditions that express deep faith and cultural heritage. Here are 5 fascinating practices you might not know about:
Pabasa: Chanting the Passion Narrative: Filipinos gather for the Pabasa, a poetic chanting of the Passion of Christ. Often held for days, devotees take turns reciting verses, creating a powerful and moving experience.
Penitensya: Acts of Self-Flagellation: In some regions, particularly Pampanga, Bulacan, and Rizal, some devotees perform Penitensya, acts of self-flagellation as a form of penance and expression of faith. This practice has sparked discussions and debates within the Catholic Church.
Visita Iglesia: A Pilgrimage of Churches: Many Filipinos participate in Visita Iglesia, visiting seven churches on Holy Thursday or Good Friday. This pilgrimage allows for reflection and prayer at each designated church.
Salubong: The Joyful Reunion: Easter Sunday morning explodes with the joyous Salubong tradition. Statues of the Virgin Mary and the resurrected Christ are brought together, symbolizing the reunion of mother and son. Fireworks and lively music fill the air as families celebrate.
Traditional Food and Drinks: Special Filipino delicacies grace the table during Holy Week. Expect dishes like "hot cross buns" (pan de sal with a cross on top) and "halo-halo" (a refreshing shaved ice dessert with various ingredients).

Isn’t this Mandarami

[@ejaysadventures]

Thank you for watching and supporting the channel. Please check out our Philippine playlist as. In the context of the Philippines, "mandarami" wouldn't typically be used to describe self-flagellation. "Mandarami" is more about multiplying or increasing in number, rather than the act of self-flagellation. Self-flagellation is usually referred to in Filipino as "penitensya" or "pagpepenitensya," especially during Holy Week rituals.
