Way of the Cross

Every year during Holy Week in the Philippine province of Pampanga, hundreds of men and women undergo acts of excruciating, self-inflicted pain in ways that evoke the Way of the Cross. This book addresses this practice through in-depth analyses of three interconnected ritual acts: the pabasa, the pagdarame, and the pamamaku king krus.

In fiecare an, in timpul Saptamanii Sfinte din provincia Pampanga din Filipine, sute de barbati si femei sufera acte de durere chinuitoare, auto-provocate in moduri care evoca Calea Crucii. Aceasta carte abordeaza aceasta practica prin analize aprofundate a trei acte rituale interconectate: pabasa, pagdarame si regele pamamaku krus.
