Faith

Tomorrow my sister and I will be traveling to the province of Pampanga and the province capital San Fernando where they re enact the crucifixion of our lord using Filipino’s and sometimes foreigners who volunteer to be nail to the cross for real on Good Friday. I could never do that even though my faith is strong. It must really hurt when they put the big nails into there hands. Ouch! I am so excited about seeing this religious re enactment. Not only is Pampanga famous for the crucifixion but also in Pampanga all the young men proceeding good Friday and also on good Friday itself either carry big crosses up and down the street or they actually whip themselves with whips until the blood is flowing to show there devotion to our lord. No where else in the Philippines that I know of does this. In my place it is just a simple day with church and family. My sister Tera and myself will be getting an early start at 4am so we will be there in plenty of time and hopefully we will be near the actual crosses that they will be nailed too so we will have a good view. So tonight will be early to bed for this little Filipina.
