The streets of three barangays in San Pedro City, Laguna, will look like the old days of Holy Week when the “Prusisyon ng Paglilibing” will display 16 life-size holy images in the traditional procession of Good Friday, April 7.
In the Philippines, churches hold the “Prusisyon ng Paglilibing” tradition every Good Friday with floats of religious images portraying the life of Jesus Christ.
The decorated carrozas with brightly lit images will go around barangays Landayan, San Roque, and Cuyab – all near the Laguna de Bay. Devotees walk barefoot, wear black clothing, bring candles, and pray Santo Rosario. The floats and statues are owned by the church and private individuals. Statues owned by private individuals are kept in their homes.
Mabagos said he grew up participating in the procession so he had always wanted to own a sacred image. “Now that I'm older, it's one way to be thankful for the blessings my family receives, and it's also a way to bring my relatives and neighbors close to the Lord,” he said in Filipino in an interview with the Manila Bulletin.
Anaya explained that he had chosen Santa Marta because his family serves the church, just as Santa Marta served Jesus when He visited her home in Betania. Isabelita Samaniego, 71, from Biñan City, is the third generation of the Bayani family who takes care of the decades-old Virgen Dolorosa's image in the church. Virgen Dolorosa depicts Mary mourning the death of her son Jesus. According to Samaniego, the Virgen Dolorosa image had performed miracles to them, helped them with their needs, and protected them from calamities.
