Intramuros Learning Sessions episode no. 46

Mga Mahal na Araw, Mga Banal na Araw: Heritage of Faith and Theology in the Holy Week Practices in the Philippines



Overview

This seminar aims to present the two levels wherein the practices of Holy Week in the Philippines are identified, one being the anthropological-historical level which covers human heritage and the other being the theological-spiritual level which understands how these practices are upheld in the lens of faith and spirituality. Since most of these practices are held within the sphere of time that it assigned by the Catholic Church yearly, what this talk will primarily discuss are intangible heritage activities during the Holy Week itself from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday. From there, we shall establish how these practices lead to both a catechesis in line with faith and cultural appreciation in line with heritage.
