Easter of 2009
I
do not know if it was for purposes of penitence or the vacation out of
it. I recalled last 2009 Easter, that we were visiting a lot of churches
at the most remote areas of Bohol. That includes the Tagbilaran
Cathedral and the Baclayon Church to name a few. It was a therapeutic
since it was miles away from work and of course, you get to view places
which were virgins to your eyes! It was a Holy Thursday that started the
usual
catholic
tradition of church visitation and the fasting of meat and the list
goes on. It was a typical Filipino christian tradition. Since I was at
Bohol during the time, I was expected to follow strict compliance in the
advocacy of it all. You have, to say the least, be blindfolded and
follow the tradition of these conservative community. It was full of
anxiety yet it was rewarding. The reward? Hmm, you get to dine at the
famous Resort Clubs of the Island! Now, comply I must! Damn! The only
downside here is that, you are not allowed to swim at these majestic
Beach. It's not allowed during a Holy Thursday. I do not know where in
the Catholic Doctrine is it not allowed. But we will never argue the
wisdom and the enlightenment coming from our old folks, won't we? As a
rule, never! So comply comply comply! Even if it makes you sick at
times. Let's just put it this way. Do everything in accordance to the
will of God. If you put it that way, you will be at ease!
