The
Script
Greetings to everyone, I am your TV host,
reporting live from San Fernando, Pampanga.
Here in Barangay San Pedro seven
flagellants portray Jesus Christ on his way to Calvary .
Each man has removed his shirt while
carrying a heavy wooden cross on his shoulder as they walk the streets
depicting the journey of Jesus Christ on his last few hours on earth.
There are many people around observing the
event. About 6,000 people, some of them
tourists are grimly watching the play.
The penitents are wearing crown of thorns
and are walking bare–footed while
whipping their backs. Mixture of sweat
and blood flows continuously from their back.
The flagellants and the penitents are now
in the place designated as the “Calvary.”
Men dressed as Roman centurions hammer nails that have been soaked in
alcohol into the palms and feet of these penitents who are nailed to the wooden
cross they are carrying.
Now, we can see the wooden crosses being
pushed upright. These men will remain on
the crosses far a couple of hours.
Why do these men perform this act? They have reasons. Some say they want to ask forgiveness for
their sins. Some say it is a form of
“panata”. Other say they hope for the
recovery of their sick love one.
It is really a great sacrifice. There is so much pain which penitents
silently endure. They are firm in their
belief. But the entire event is
gruesome.
There you are, folks. This is one of the ways Filipino Catholics
observe the Lenten season.
I am your TV host (name of reporter)of
WOW Philippines Network, reporting live from San Fernando, Pampanga. Good day
and Mabuhay!
