Holy Week is one of the important Christian traditions here in our country. In this sacred week, Christians all over the Globe commemorate the Passion of Christ, who died on Good Friday in reparation for the sins of mankind, and rose on Easter Sunday to give new life to all who believe. Thus, while Holy Week is solemn and sorrowful, it also anticipates the joy of Easter through the recognition of God's goodness in sending His Son to die for our salvation. (Catholicism) In addition, Religious people observe activities like Holy Procession, Confession, Penitence, and different ways of deep prayers. In Southern Cebu, Simala Shrine is the most visited Holy Place by Locals and Tourists during Holy Week as they observe these religious activities in the said Church.
