An age old tradition in Mansalay, Oriental Mindoro every Holy Week
This tradition happens every Good Friday. It is a religious holiday observed primarily by Christians commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary. It is also known as Black Friday, Holy Friday, Great Friday or Easter Friday (referred as Friday in Easter week).
A yearly tradition in our town during holy week. They do this — whip their own backs — as a way to empathize with Jesus. I didn’t get a photo, but some of them carried large wooden crosses, just as Jesus did.
Ginagawa natin ang mga sari-sariling
tradisyon ng mga simbahan/church natin para maalala natin ang ginawa ng Diyos
sa krus. Pero sana gawin mo ito hindi dahil OBLIGADO ka, kundi dahil NAIS MO,
SA IYONG BUONG PUSO.

Whenever you think you're worthless,
always remember that Jesus died for you. You don’t need to make yourself suffer.
All you need is a sincere heart and you’ll be forgiven. Spread the love, spread
the Gospel. :)
