With the easing of restrictions in Rizal province under Alert Level 1, some of the Holy Week traditions that were banned since 2020 due to Covid-19 pandemic, have started to resume but in a slightly different way just to comply with the health and safety protocols mandated by the government.
Since 2020, processions traditionally held during Holy Wednesday and Good Friday, have been prohibited because the Lenten activity would become a virus spreader event as people tend to group together either as viewers or participants. In Morong, where the 15th century old Saint Jerome Parish Church is situated, the tradition of holding a festive meal during Holy Thursday after a religious activity known as the “Kordero” has been shelved since 2020, according to parish priest Fr. Joey Bautista.
The statue of the dead Christ, locally known as the “Santo Entierro”, is an attraction until before Easter Sunday morning.
