The observance of the Lenten Season in the Philippines has retained its solemnity by living with the traditions and beliefs from generation to generation.
During this season, devotees practice religious penance of flagellation which, according to their belief, a way of asking for forgiveness for their sins. Other devotees believe that by doing this act, they can seek for spiritual guidance and favorable divine kindness like healing an ill loved one. Pampanga is a province rich in culture, history and famous for its Cutud Lenten Rites tradition.
Every year on Good Friday, a reenactment of the passion of the Christ is being held in San Pedro Cutud in the City of San Fernando, Pampanga. Foreign tourists, observers and journalist including photographers from different parts of the globe assembled under the blistering hot sun just to witness this event. I am glad I was able to take some shots after a few kilometers walk and staying a 4 long hours under a scorching sun.
