Maundy Thursday

I think Maundy Thursday is one of the most observed seasons amongst Filipino people. Most of the establishments and offices are closed.
Some people make it a time for vacation or reunion while others do penance.
I say our company is one of those very few who have work even on occasion like this. If I'm not here, I'm most likely in the province. For me there's no better way celebrating the Holy Week than in the province - it's the best place for me.
I remember, my family usually goes to church on Maundy Thursday and there's a religious procession around the town.
At night time, the plaza and the town is packed with people both young and old.
Maundy Thursday is one of my most awaited seasons especially when I'm in the province.
I haven't truly experienced how people celebrate the Holy Week here coz I always have work on Holy Week.
Anyway, the day doesn't seem so ordinary because everywhere you look, most stores are closed and there are less traffic than usual.
How I missed the old times in Guimbal. It's been two years already since I haven't spent my Holy Week at home.
I missed it and I wish I could be there.
