Happy Easter

Happy Easter! Easter is celebrated in every corner of the Christian World. It is the time for thanksgiving as we all know in Christianity.

In the Philippines, we celebrate our Easter in different ways. Many Filipinos do go outing for swimming in the beach or in the pool in the nearby town or cities. They really do this every year with their families. During Easter it is really worth to go swimming cause the weather is really hot after the Holy Week ended, during the Holy Week Christian people used to be solemn. So as we know, lengthen season is the fasting days of the Christian people, so after those penitential days, they do celebrate for the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ who saved us from our sins. That is why we call it “Thanksgiving.”

In the Philippine, we do attend the early mass, which started at dawn. We used to attend the meeting of our Lord Jesus Christ and His mother Blessed Virgin Mary. And there is an angel taking out her veil, acted by angels (small children) while the angel taking out the veil of Blessed Virgin Mary the other angels(children) singing and pouring flowers to Blessed Virgin Mary as the sign of rejoice that Jesus rise from the death and save us from our sins.
