Maundy Thursday in the Philippines

As a practice only in the Philippines, Catholic faithfuls perform the 'Visita Iglesia' after the Maundy Thursday church service in the afternoon. At the latter part of the service, the Holy Eucharist is transferred to an area at the side of the church and the faithfuls come and worship. Each church would adorn that area based on its theme with candles and flowers. Photos below show some of the churches visited. The practice is one should visit 7 churches to worship on that evening. The vigil is until midnight.

This is the time when families would go together thus strengthening our close family ties. As the saying goes, "The Family that prays together, stays together."
