White Beach Puerto Galera

I will talk about what is Holy week and how it is celebrated in the Philippines.

Philippines Holy Week

Philippines Holy week is the annual Christian observance commemorating and reenacting the significant moments of Jesus last week on earth.

With religious ceremonies and processions of the stages of the cross, the whole place will be exploding with culture and excitement.

Celebrated in the month of April, the Philippines Holy Week begins on Palm Sunday and ends on Easter Sunday. This week businesses here in the Philippines are either closed or have a late opening and earlier closing times as part of the annual observance.

The holy week consists of:

  • Palm Sunday
  • Holy Wednesday
  • Maundy Thursday
  • Good Friday
  • Black Saturday
  • Easter Sunday

What is Holy Week

Holy Week starts on Palm Sunday. Thousands of devotees gathered to their respective churches attending a mass with palm leaves with them to be blessed by the priest.

After the mass, people take their blessed palm leaves home and hang them in the window or door in the belief that the leaves can bring good luck and can remove negativity in the house.

Next, is the Holy Wednesday also called the “Spy Wednesday”, this is the day where Judas betrayed Jesus in exchange for money.

Maundy Thursday commemorates the celebration of the last supper. Devotees celebrate this by attending a night mass with family or friends. The next day is where Jesus was tortured and crucified called the Good Friday.

People celebrate this by attending a procession that includes some of the devotees who perform self-flagellate and even have themselves crucified as a self-sacrifice to fulfill their vow or as a thanksgiving for their granted prayers.

This continues up until Easter Sunday. On Easter, Sunday businesses like malls and hotels arrange some activities for people that come on Easter Sunday. Activities like Easter egg hunting, egg paintings, and some fun performances.

Basically, it’s the day where all the grief ends and time for celebrations for the Christ reborn.

Puerto Galera Holy Week

The above days and activities are being celebrated in Holy Week. Puerto Galera Holy Week is not much different though many come here from the cities to get out of the city. Most people follow this annual tradition, but for some, this is the time to take a break and relax. After attending a mass they just stay at home or go out of town with family and friends.

Since this is also the biggest professional holiday in the Philippines, everyone will be jumping at the chance to get out of the city and hit the beach. Everybody wants to enjoy the Puerto Galera holy week.

Hotels, resorts, and restaurants are more likely fully booked this week. So if you are planning to come for Puerto Galera Holy Week I suggest you book your accommodation ahead of time as soon as possible.
