Traditionally, Good Friday during Holy Week is a day of fasting and penance. It is also the day we commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
I am not the religious type but I make it a point that I dont disrespect holy and sacred day. I stop and pray and honor.
In my country Philippines , we have a lot of activities during Holy Week. We go to church for our Way of the cross, holy mass, processions and a lot of reflecting.
Some of us have their own vows everytime Holy Week arrives.
I know some members here have a different religion and beliefs, what do you usually do when a Holy or sacred day or week arrives? I want to know some ...

We used to do that too when we were young kids. Now we just stay at home and pray .
