Mahal na Araw sa Pilipinas

"Mahal na Araw" AKA "Semana Santa" has come to an end. It is the week of marathon chanting and flagellants making their pit stops at makeshift pop-up chapels called "Pabasas." Flagellants strip themselves naked from the waist up, walk barefoot through the streets while flagging themselves to atone for their sins.  Pampanga is famous for these sights, and my family is from there! So, here are some pictures taken in Pampanga from last year:
