THE merry month of March is here! Aside from the warmer temperature, there are lots of reasons the third month of the year is awaited.
Foremost is the celebration of Easter Sunday when our Lord God Jesus Christ has risen from death after undergoing torture and crucifixion. For weeks in the Lenten season, the Christian world prepares for this day enduring self-imposed sacrifices to empathize with His suffering in the misguided and warped-up disposition of justice of the Roman Empire.
Yet Holy Week in our country is not at all about His rise from death but an imprudent notion to take and enjoy a vacation in tourist spots like the fresh air of the countryside, the beaches, and picnic grooves. People prepare and save money including taking off from work for a week-long good time. They forget to take the real meaning of Holy Week.
