I would not use the word celebrate - but rather observe. I think it is good to observe holy week by making thorough examinations of your conscience... bringing yourself to a heart felt contrition. I like the idea of being quiet during the holy week - talking only out of necessity and keeping that speech to a low decibel. It is good to be very careful of our words and actions, all times but even more so during holy week. I think it is also a good practice to pray the stations of the Cross - Many people will venerate the foot of the Cross on Holy Thursday.... and will also wash each others feet in humility. On Good Friday it is a common practice to keep absolute silence between the hours of noon to three. I also think that we should take in no worldly entertainments during this week. On passion Sunday last week we veiled the crucifix's and statues and turned the religious pictures around. This Sunday is palm sunday.

Well starting Monday, I'll give myself some privacy to reflect and sort out my life. I'll still be here on mylot though, since this is the only form of entertainment I consider for myself. Nothing else, nothing more since television stations will air only those shows about Bible and Christ.. Then come Saturday (Black Saturday), I'll be with friends out for am adventure tripping on a nearby beach..
