Lent moments

Penitents (tais-dupol).

The penitents' costumes were fashioned after the ones in Seville, Spain. Which incidentally, the KKK also fashioned their costume from. The penitents and the KKK both hide their faces from the public: the penitents so they can pray and sacrifice in anonymity (they walk around barefooted on the hot concrete collecting money for the Church), and the KKKs for their own obvious reasons.

Fall of Jesus.

The crucifixion

Btw, the 'Jesus' nailed on the cross is not a real person. We don't do that here in the Visayas. A Jesus statue is switched at the last minute under the structure.
