Holy Week 09 Part 2: Holy Thursday

Maundy Thursday in our place is not what you'd expect from a Catholic community. Its a warzone out there, more like a mardigra. A lot of people shouting and beating the crap of their Kristo (masochistic people who act like Christ... not the savior part, but the part where He gets beaten up). Every street corner has a Kubol (reenactment of the 12 stations of the cross), this is where the guys who act as Christ stop getting beaten up as they go from one station of the Cross to another. So basically Kubols are put up then a group of men captures their Kristo and beat the bloody hell out of him across the town. Yipee...

The Kubol is a competition so actors don't move for hours as expectators go from one kubol to another.
