仪式

圣周在菲律宾是天主教和大多数新教组织protestantism的一个重大的宗教仪式。
风俗
It begins on Palm Sunday and continues on through Maundy Thursday, when businesses in the Philippines either shut down operations until Black Saturday or have a late opening and earlier closing times. Many communities observe Spanish-influenced Catholic rituals such as processions, with many having been syncretised with pre-Hispanic beliefs. This is evident in local practices and the many superstitions associated with the occasion.
它始于圣枝主日（复活节前的星期日）protestantism，在圣周四继续，这期间在菲律宾的各种商业活动都会停业直到黑色周期六，或者很晚才开始营业并且早早关门。很多团体庆祝形式受西班牙或者前西班牙信仰影响和融合的沿街列队式的天主教仪式。当地的风俗和很多民间迷信在这一时期的行为反应是非常明显的。
Some people were carrying cross, some of them crucified, they tried to portrait Jesus Christ like this, they believe by doing this, their sins will be forgiven.
一些人抗着十字架，一些人被钉十字架，protestantism他们试图描写耶稣的所做所为，相信通过这样的行为，他们的罪将会被赦免。
This is one of the catholic customs here in the Philippines, Catholicism here is still higher percentage so you will see like this every year to commemorate how Jesus save all mankind by sacrificing himself.
这是菲律宾的天主教习俗之一，当地的天主教徒们的比例仍然是大多数，所以每年的圣周protestantism你会看到这样的情景来展示耶稣是怎样牺牲自己而救赎全人类的。
