I had a lot of chance to walk today because I joined my friends and walked towards the grotto. When I say walk, I really meant it. You see in my religion experiencing a bit of hardship during the holy week is a cultural and a religious thing. We call this the "penitensya"; and it was supposed to be a way of showing God our remorse for committing sins.
The "penitensya" that most people do during the holy week is on the easier side. On the other hand some devotees, or rather, zealots would do worse and pretty much cause themselves harm. Crucifixion anyone? Yeah, there are people who would do that. I wouldn't go into details about the practice but for those who are curious, I suggest Googling "holy week practices in the Philippines."
Anyway that's about it. Until next time.
