WHAT IS GOOD FRIDAY❓️
Good Friday is a part of the religious holiday week in the lead up to Easter Sunday in the Philippines. This is the time when many Filipinos refrain from engaging in worldly activities such as listening to loud music or drinking alcohol. Most Catholics refrain from eating meat during this day and engage in fasting and prayer.
Many people also attend church services and take part in the Acts of Reparation to Jesus Christ or the Station of the Cross. The Station of The Cross depicts the last hours of the Passion of Jesus, and the Filipinos use these stations to meditate on Jesus’ sufferings. Some men in different localities in the Philippines re-enact the penance of Jesus Christ by going as far as crucifying themselves on the cross.

Ang Siete Palabras, o “Seven Last Words”, ay isang tradisyon ng mga Pilipino na minana pa natin sa mga Kastila. Ito ay ginagawa tuwing Biyernes ng Mahal na Araw, o Good Friday. Dito, ay isinasadula ang pagkamatay ni Kristo, at mayroon ding mahabang misa na nagaganap. Kadalasan, nagkakaroon din ng prusisyon matapos ang misa.
