Observance of the Holy Week

 

Holy Week is the traditional observance of the Passion of Jesus Christ. It's a whole commemoration on how Jesus ended His ministry on Earth. It starts from Palm Sunday and ends on Easter Sunday.

Palm Sunday

Jesus entered Jerusalem. This is where He wept after seeing people rejoicing and shouting Hosanna. He wept because He knows that time is coming. He already know what He will encounter. He knows His upcoming death that is why He is very sensitive to what is happening around.

Holy Monday

Jesus at Bethany. One of the known accounts here is when a sinful woman showered Jesus' feet with perfume.

Cleansing of the Temple. This is where Jesus got mad because people transformed the temple into a marketplace and a gambling site.

Cursing of the Fig Tree. This is when the apostle witnessed how Jesus cursed the fig tree, made it wither and never yield fruit again.

Holy Tuesday

This is the day when He predicts His own death in front of the apostles.

Holy Wednesday

Also called the account of Judas. This is when Judas met with the authorities to plan the arrest of Jesus.

Maundy Thursday

This is when the Last Supper happened. This is also the time that Jesus prayed and bled in Gethsemane. A few hours after, there was a commotion and the authorities arrested Him.

Good Friday

The suffering in Calvary. Jesus died on the cross. This is when the temple was divided into two as prophesied by Jesus. This is the day when Peter denied Jesus three times.

Black Saturday

A day of mourning. Apostles are hiding. They don't know what to do. They are mourning.

Easter Sunday

The resurrection of Jesus.

  The observance of International Women’s Day (IWD) was a result of the organizing activities of women in the early 20th Century. Between 1909 and 1911, working women in the United States of America participated in organizing strike activities of the National Women’s Trade Union League and other concerned groups. They were protesting against low wages, lack of protective legislation and the very poor working conditions to which women workers were subjected during that time. The demonstrations were an offshoot of the tragic March 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York City, which took the lives of more than 140 working girls, mostly Italian and Jewish immigrants. Subsequently, the inhumane working conditions and other unfair labor practices leading up to the disaster were invoked during observances of IWD. In the Philippines, the Women’s Month Celebration has since served as a venue to highlight women’s achievements and discuss continuing and emerging women’s empowerm...
