They have been re-enacting the passion play for the past 3 days and will have a very big celebration tonight and tomorrow.

Should be lots of fun.

Hope you are having a wonderful season and they are not over-working you, my friend.

Easter tradition for the community. Whole pig on a spit over oak, garlic rice, lumpia, some kind of kale or broccoli salad, other traditional sides, iced tea and beer.

I'm not sure what the traditional food is here, but I feel pretty certain it will be excellent.

Have a great time, pinto.

not the deaths. Sort of a catch all remembrance of those who were a big part of my life over the years. Very quiet at the mission, just before the first mass.

Happy Easter hrmjustin. Thanks for the music pieces.
