Our attempt to make you feel the Holy Week Spirit

MANY Filipinos are nominally Christian Protestants or Christian Catholics. They are just like the still sizeable number of Europeans and US and Canadian North Americans who identify themselves as believers of the Lord Jesus Christ and yet don’t really care to use the holidays (days off from work) occasioned by the Christian Holy Week to be closer to God and his angels and saints.

They are in that sense less pious--less determined to offer up acts of piety and charity, less willing to reflect on their relationship with their Creator and cultivate a spiritual and charitable disposition--than Muslim Filipinos during their holy month of Ramadan.
