Paastyd in die Philippines

25 April 2025

Dis altyd vir my só lekker om kulture te ervaar. Dit was baie interessant om April in die Philippines te wees en só Paastyd te ervaar.

Tagaytay is ‘n gewilde vakansie dorp, suid van Manila, op die eiland Luzon. Ons het ‘n naweek hier spandeer en dit het my die geleentheid gegee om ‘n paar plekke van aanbidding te sien.


Catholicism (Filipino: Katolisismo; Spanish: Catolicismo) is the predominant religion and the largest Christian denomination in the Philippines comprising 78.8% of the population.


Catholics light candles to pray for their deceased loves ones, the sick, the health and welfare of family and friends, and for the needs of our worldwide family. In the lighting of candles, we not only pray, but our prayers become symbols of the One Light of Christ, “the Light of the World.

Christians believe it honors God when His followers light candles and reflect on the majesty and goodness of God—what He has done, who He is, and what He is going to do.

’n Mooi uitbeelding van Christus in loodglas.

As daar ‘n klein replika van hierdie beeld was, het dit saam met my huistoe gekom.

Hierdie houtsnee werk wat die kruisiging uitbeeld, het my aangegryp.

Dit was ‘n belewenis.

Die laaste stop was hierdie klein kerkie waar mense in aanbidding sit. My oorweldigende gevoel was ootmoet.

Na die spesiale naweek was daar genoeg tyd om nabetragting te doen.

Leer my meer van U, Vader. Maak my hart sag, sodat ek U kinders reg oor die wêreld respekteer. Ek trek my skoene uit, loop in geheimenisse rond, sodat ek méér en méér waardering kan hê vir wat U dood vir my beteken. Ek sak my kop, my Here en my God, omdat ek lofliedere kan sing. U het opgestaan. U kom weer,
