Palm Sunday
My first vivid memory of the Holy Week when I was a kid was when we did the stations of the cross along the Baguio Cathedral grounds back in grade school. Baguio City is not very traditional in the sense that the Pabasa (singing of the Passion of Christ) and the Dula (play) is not being performed. About the only observances I have seen as a manifestion of Catholic tradition are the stations of the cross, the praying of the rosary, Palm Sunday, and some Easter Sunday celebrations as popularized by the Americans. I realize it now that in Baguio, the Holy Week manifests itself as mixed influences from the Spanish rule and the American occupation.
Here are some photos of the Palm Sunday as we observed it last weekend.
