It's holiday here in the Philippines yesterday , Maundy Thursday and now Good Friday, as.part of the commemoration of the Holy Week.
In two more hours here will be the procession of carriages of the Saints and the events that are related to the sufferings of Jesus.
I know we are of different religious affiliations here so there are some who don't practice the so called Holy Week.
Anyway, if you do, do you participate in the procession or just a watcher of the procession?
I don't participate anymore in the procession. My knees are with osteoarthritis already that is why.

@jaboUK They bring the same one each year on Good Friday.
Actually, a family has it carefully lain in one room , and they have it decorated for the Holy week specially for the procession of carriages with specific images related to the sorrowful events in the life of Jesus by other families too.

It's holiday here too because of Good Friday. I follow different religion but have seen the procession in a church very close to my house. My Christian friend visits church but I have not seen her family ever participating in it.

@SIMPLYD Thank you for sharing the image. It is very beautiful and expresses something about Jesus in a wonderful way. Thank you.
I've seen images from other sources around the world that are not very nice in my view of that event. Even some images around churches give me the creeps depending on what time period from history they are coming from or the message they are trying to send.
They should keep doing this procession!! Beautiful.

Actually, it seems like a festival indeed specially during the processio bevause of the many, many people who gods with the procession from the church and touring around the main throughfares of the tow then bak to church, while they bring a lighted candle and pray the rosary.

I'm a heathen LOL, Sorry not a believer but I know of Holy week and Good Friday. I don't think they do a procession around here but many people do go to evening mass at their church. I have heard of some that even go Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
