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!
