Holy week.. as a christian we celebrate such days yearly. And we know that this is the end of the lent season and the beginning of Easter. Different countries celebrate such in different beliefs, Like from where came from. In my country Philippines we had this through street processions, and plays of the passion of christ "SENAKULO"..Every year each home parade their images of the story of Jesus and more. Hundreds of them are being paraded especially in BALIUAG. Well another best known is in PAMPANGA, where people their re-enacted the passion of Christ and those Devotees nailed themselves in the cross while others whipped themselves with thorns until they bled. I BELIEVE that what JESUS had done is the way TO REDEEM us all, showing Gods unconditional LOVE to mankind. This act of suffering symbolizes our FORGIVENESS. The thing that i do not agree is those devotees who hurt themselves.. IN what JESUS had been, there is a reason about it "FOR ALL OF US". But to those devotee maybe for reason to ask for the forgiveness on what they've done wrong. I watched some of it in TV and heared that this can cause DANGER to those who act..not only having INFECTION and tetanus but also, possible damage of artery that maybe hit that can cause much more RISK.. Actually i salute to those people's STRENGTH and display of FAITH. BUT i cant help myself being not so in agreeable with them doing such.. I KNOW that everyone has its own DEFINITION of faith but,,that is too much.. as may they call it " PENANCE"
