Holy Week: Penance or Have Fun

Is Holy Week still relevant to the Catholics and does it really matter now or is it just a dying Catholic tradition with its meaning slowly translating into just a long weekend of respite from the daily grind?

Is the observance of the Holy Week still relevant today for the practicing Catholics?

… When most of them are spending the holy week in beaches and resorts and posting these on social media for everyone to see how much fun they are getting?

… When most of them are having a good time eating and drinking with their relatives and friends at their hometown province?

… And when most of them are relaxing on stay-cation mode?

Is Holy Week still relevant to the Catholics and does it really matter now or is it just a dying Catholic tradition with its meaning slowly translating into just a long weekend of respite from the daily grind?

I like taking photos while driving my way to the office and back home in Metro Manila, Philippines. Considering the high volume of traffic along one of the major roads in the Metro called EDSA, full stop on the road is normal, specially during rush hours. And in such stops, I take pictures of buildings, the skies, any trees that I see, and almost anything that interests me. I'm quite new in photography but is really having fun taking candid shots of people. I hope you will like my photos and do visit me in my blog... photoniompong.WordPress.com. See you there! :)
