Holy Week
This week is Holy Week here in the Philippines and the whole Christian world is in observance of the passion of Christ. In my part of the country, we call it Semana Santa.
Here in the Philippines, it has been a holiday since Wednesday in order for people to get home early. While the holy week is a religious exercise here in the Philippines , this is also the time to get a long break from work and be with family whether you are going to engage in a religious activity (related to the observance of the holy week) or not.
So…I’ll see you all next week. Happy Easter.

That’s nice. I’m sure you all have a refreshing week there. It is very good to have a break from the usual routine and have moments with the Lord. It refreshes the soul.
