Good Friday Morning: Grand Assembly of Penitents
What: Grand Assembly of Penitents
When
: April 18, 2014, early morning
Venue: Mabalacat City
Description: From Dept of Tourism website...
"...The GRAND ASSEMBLY OF PENITENTS in Mabalacat City (Good Friday early morning). It’s a scene straight out of a Cecil B. DeMille movie: hundreds, maybe thousands, of half-naked flagellants and cross-bearers in flowing red robes, brought together by sin and tradition, converge in the church patio for an orgy of suffering, self-mutilation and penance. The number of penitents makes you wonder if flagellation, like circumcision, is a rite of passage among boys in Pampanga. (It also makes you wonder why Kapampangans, usually vain, would want to lacerate their skin and flesh and disfigure their pampered bodies...."

Good Friday Early Afternoon: Passion & Crucifixion Re-enactment

: April 18, 2014, 1pm-3pm
Venue: The event starts at Arevalo Basketball Court & will move along Pampang Rd leading to an open space for the crucifixion. This area is only a few minutes walk from Amasya Guesthouse.
Description: Angeles City religious re-enactment is a worthy alternative to the ceremony in Cutud, San Fernando.
