When I was young, pag Good Friday, there's always the Station of the Cross around the village. May kasamang procession yun at taun-taon, pahaba nang pahaba ang ruta n'ya.
Come Easter Sunday naman, there's the Salubong. In the wee hours of the morning, the images of the Virgin Mary and the Risen Christ would meet at some point. The highlight of the event would always be the angel lifting Mama Mary's veil. Every year, may bagong contraption or gimmick na maiisipan ang simbahan. And every year, the spectators, especially the kids, would watch in awe.
In between these two major events in the Christian world is Black Saturday. In Christmas terms, this is actually Christmas eve. There's a very lengthy mass around 9or 10 PM, which even my very pious mom rarely attends.
In my family right now, there's nothing much. Well, Oca's busy with a project. The kids -- wala lang. Medyo in pain because of sunburn. Ako, facebook, games, TV... would've baked pero kulang sa ingredients.
What a Blah Saturday.
