Usually when there is holy week that is the time that some people who are working can rest, do the religious practices and even having their fasting, sacrificing, and other usual things during holy week that has something to do with church. Though on the other hand it is also time for people to have excursion, there so many people who are having vacation in Boracay that is why during those times it is becoming too much of crowd, traveling around the world, can do the sidelines and other more activities that is not totally related to religious practices or church. There are times even the Catholic ones are not following the practices that they shouldn't eat meat during Friday or the Good Friday itself. So have you ever experienced of having vacation and travel to other country during holy week? I could understand why others do that instead of doing the religious practices. It is because that is just the only time they can rest and instead of having a file of leave to have their vacation that could be the only chance they can use it to avoid absences as well. I have this thought that someday I want to do that and I want to know the feeling of traveling to other country when it is holy week.

Not a chance to travel to other country but travel places around our country. During summer, my mom spend her vacation here in our country so we always took the opportunity to be with her- travel with her, visiting her relatives from other places. I like it since it gives me the chance to mingle with our relatives and also see different places here in our country.

At least you've still experience to travel while there is holy week especially the Good Friday. I can see it on news how crowded it is in other resorts or beach resorts during Holy Thursday and Good Friday. While here in Manila or even in other provinces they are participating and watching the Cenakulo.

I have never thought of getting a vacation during holy week. i just don't feel right about it. I mean, we know that we are suppose to think about the sufferings of Christ and we have fun? It is just not the way how we were brought up. But I have no grudge over those who prefer to have a vacation instead, coz I know, too that it is their way of relaxation after a routine office work.

I usually spend private time during holy week. I spend the time mostly with my family members and I really love travelling during holy week as I often have done it.
