Maleldo or Mal a Aldo is a Kapampangan word for Holy Week or Mahal na Araw. The old practices and tradition of Christ’s passion and death is a common trait for all Filipinos. During the Holy Week, we practice fasting and abstinence; attending mass and processions; while others offer sacrifices by re-enacting Christ’s crucifixion on the cross. Every Good Friday, local and foreign tourists flocked their way to Cutud and Sta. Lucia in San Fernando, Pampanga to witness the re-enactment of Christ’s suffering on the Cross.
I have posted here some pictures and videos which were taken by my my pals, since I wasn’t able to witness them myself because I have chosen to reflect in solitude. Nah, that is just an excuse hehe. The truth is, I was only able to go to 7 different Churches or what we call, Bisita Iglesia, including the Bacolor Church where it is now famous as Santino’s place in the teleserye May Bukas Pa. And because of that, many went to that place, some were praying while others came just to take a peek at the location of the hit teleserye.
