♱ #𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐲𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲 is Christian religious observance that ends the Lenten season, falling on the day before Easter Sunday. The observance commemorates the final day of Christ’s death, which many Christians traditionally associate with his triumphant descent into hell or “to the dead”. (Text from Encyclopedia Britannica. (n.d.). #NationalLibraryPH featuring the “𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁” book for the end of Lenten season. Let us take this time to reflect, pray, and prepare our hearts for the joy of Easter.

Ang “𝗣𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗶𝗸𝗮” ng ating mahal na Panginoon ay ang mga huling pitong pahayag ni Hesus habang Siya ay nakapako sa krus.

♱ Today is #GoodFriday, a day marked by silence and stillness Filipino families focus on prayer and reflection. Some communities also stage Passion plays, dramatizing the events leading up to the crucifixion, allowing participants and viewers to engage deeply with the narrative of Christ’s suffering and ultimate sacrifice. As we reflect on the meaning of this season, #NationalLibraryPH shares selected readings that capture the essence of #SemanaSantaPH.”

Another distinct tradition is the “𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗮 𝗜𝗴𝗹𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗮,” where devotees visit and pray in at least seven churches. This practice not only provides an opportunity for spiritual pilgrimage but also allows for the appreciation of the architectural beauty and historical significance of the churches. #NationalLibraryPH featuring the “𝗩𝗜𝗦𝗜𝗧𝗔 𝗜𝗚𝗟𝗘𝗦𝗜𝗔” book for lenten season. Kindly 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 in the comment box which church you have visited. #MaundyThursday
