In Maragondon, Cavite
Holy Week is a
significant religious festival in the Philippines. Holy Week is known as
“Semana Santa” (the
original Spanish name), or by its Filipino name “Mahál na Araw”. Many
communities observe procession of the Passion of Christ which is held during
the evening of Good Friday in Maragondon, Cavite.
Have you experienced joining a procession in the Philippines? Everybody should at least try it once in their lifetime. It is said that you are also in one with the Passion and Death of Christ. See the rest of the blog...
The procession is usually started by the church sacristans
carrying the cross and candles.

Then procession ends with a marching band playing “Ave Maria
songs” and/or religious songs.
