The next significant day for my Semana Santa events – Our Lady of Sorrows. Many families and business places erect altars for this one night – starting around 7 pm, you make the rounds to view the altars that show the grieving mother of Jesus. Most altars use the colors purple, white and green, plus various fragrant herbs and flowers.
To show thanks for their good fortune and your visit, they will offer you a special fruit drink and maybe some ice cream. Although many have little as compared to us, they are thankful for what God has shared with them. They in turn share with us.
The next Semana Santa event is Sunday, March 28, Palm Sunday.
