HOLY WEEK WILL TAKE PLACE FROM 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 29 TO 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 5 ✝️

In 2026, the 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝘆 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 will be observed from 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 29 (Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion) to 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 4 (Holy Saturday), leading to the celebration of the Solemnity of the Resurrection of the Lord on Easter Sunday, April 5. Holy Week is the most sacred week in the liturgical calendar, wherein the Church solemnly commemorates the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Beginning with Palm Sunday, the faithful recall Christ’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem and are immediately drawn into the mystery of His suffering. The Sacred Triduum—Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday—forms the heart of Holy Week. On Holy Thursday, the Church remembers the Institution of the Holy Eucharist and the Priesthood, and the Lord’s commandment of charity. Good Friday is a day of mourning and solemn reflection on the Crucifixion and Death of Christ, marked by fasting and abstinence. Holy Saturday is a day of silent waiting and hope, culminating in the Easter Vigil, where the Resurrection is proclaimed in light and joy.

Holy Week calls Christians to deeper conversion, prayer, sacrifice, and contemplation, uniting themselves more closely to Christ’s saving work and preparing their hearts for the joy and hope of Easter.

𝑽𝑰𝑽𝑨! 𝑷𝑰𝑻 𝑺𝑬𝑵𝒀𝑶𝑹!

O Señor Santo Niño, You are our king and our god, we worship you, you are our strong Defender, we turn to you; You are the Patron of Cebu and Philippines, we come to you; You have made extraordinary wonders. Through your miraculous Image in these chosen islands, remember us. Look down at this poor soul that comes to You for help. Lead us with your wisdom, discipline us with Your Truth, console us with Your Tenderness, protect us with Your Might.

We consecrate today our thoughts to You, only with You shall they be occupied; our words, only of you shall they speak; our sufferings, that we may endure them for your sake. We beg You, Señor Santo Niño, illumine our understanding, kindle our will, cleanse our body, sanctify our soul. We wish what you wish, because you wish, as you wish, as long as you wish.

Grant us, Señor Santo Niño, that we may feel love toward You, be strict toward ourselves, be zealous toward our fellowmen, and rightly despise the things of the world. Help us to overcome sensuality with strict discipline, avariciousness with generosity, anger with gentleness, indolence with zealous industry. Make us wise in counsel, courageous in danger, patient in adversity, humble in prosperity.

Teach us, dear Santo Niño, how worthless is the world, how sublime is heaven, how brief is time, how long is eternity. Grant us, lastly, that we may remember You, adore You, and serve You here on earth that we may be happy with You forever and ever in Heaven. Amen.

TRASLACIÓN THROUGH THE YEARS

The annual Traslación of the Black Nazarene continues to stand as one of the largest religious gatherings in the world, with crowd estimates and procession durations revealing not only the scale of devotion but also how participation has evolved over the years. Data from recent editions of the procession show a steady rise in the number of devotees, alongside variations in how long the sacred journey takes to complete. | Jefferson Fernando, layout by Sheila Figueroa
