In a tradition set by its deeply religious Catholic society, Mahal Na Araw, or “Holy Week”, is a celebration commemorating the death of the Jesus Christ, on the cross to redeem the world from its sinful nature. It is usually marked by various religious activities that stretched through the whole week. They celebrate Holy Week in deepest of passion and reverence to said tradition. Usually signaling the start of the season is the marking of the foreheads with ashes on Ash Wednesday and culminates on a Sunday celebration of Easter, to commemorate the resurrection of Christ.
