Pasyon
The Pasyon is a traditional Filipino narrative that recounts the life, suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is typically written in verse and is performed during the Holy Week, particularly on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. The text is often chanted or sung, making it a significant part of Filipino religious culture.
This practice is deeply rooted in Catholicism and reflects the country's historical ties to Spanish colonization. The Pasyon serves not only as a religious observance but also as a means of community gathering, where people come together to reflect on their faith and share in the collective experience of the Passion of Christ.
