Holy Wednesday

Last working day for the week as Maundy Thursday and Good Friday are declared a holiday.

During Holy Wednesday, there is often a procession of images passing-by in-front of our house showing Jesus' Passion.  The people joining the procession, on the other hand, are praying the rosary.

First time I saw a Black Nazarene procession on a Holy Tuesday.  The people stopped right in-front of our house to rest a bit in carrying the image.  Weird... all of them wanted to carry the image that it is causing a commotion.  Until one of them stood up and reminded them that they are not in Quiapo and told the younger ones to let those senior to them carry the image instead.  Because of it, one can only think that they did not really get what the purpose of the procession is for.  Tsk!  Tsk!
