“
Senakulo” (
Passion-play) is a traditional dramatic presentation depicting the passion of
Jesus Christ — His trial, suffering and death. It is done in towns and cities during
Holy Week and from town plazas or churchyards, people gather to witness this
holy event. Actors and actresses playing in this passion-play do this not just for entertainment but also as their means of “panata” (vow).
Yesterday, few minutes after I arrived at my akachan’s (bf) place and before we left for
Visita Iglesia, there was this “Senakulo” in their street and I was able to somehow take a glimpse of it.
I wasn’t really able to witness the whole passion-play — just the one wherein the person portraying the role of Jesus Christ is walking on their street while carrying a big cross.
wow! pretty cool! that really sounds gr8 :D
