Semana Santa 06: Via Crucis

May 3rd, 2006

In the afternoon of Palm Sunday, the Via Crucis is held in Lucban. Here, designated houses set up the 14 stations of the cross. From the simple shed type structure decorated with palm fronds to the more elaborate like cavelike simulations complete with lights!

Left, one of the simple structures built along the sidestreet. Right, sacristans who accompany the priest and deacon walk barefoot despite the intense heat of the cement road.

Left, at the first station, the priests conducts the prayers while the people follow through at the back. Right, the lone image of the Christ borne on the shoulders of the town’s men is paraded to each of the stations along the narrow streets of Lucban.
