Inside the Most EXTREME Holy Week in The Philippines - Moryonan

- In the town of Boac, Philippines, Moryonan is a religious observance held annually during Holy Week on the island of Marinduque, the heart of the Philippines (puso ng Pilipinas). Moryonan is also known as the Moriones Festival. The tradition dates back to 1807 and is not observed anywhere else in the world!
The Moriones refers to the penitents who march around the town in Roman Soldier masks and costumes for seven days searching for Longinus, a Roman centurion who was blind in one eye. According to legend, Longinus pierced the side of the crucified Christ. The blood that spurted out touched his blind eye and fully restored his sight. This miracle converted Longinus to Christianity which angered his fellow centurions. The Filipinos who wear the masked helmets, armor, and robes in the heat of the sun the whole week do so as a form of penance or thanksgiving.
In this video I’ll show you some of what goes on in Boac during Moryonan with one of the biggest events being Via Crucis which is a re-enactment of the suffering of Christ on his way to calvary. There is also the Marinduque Expo which also goes on during Semana Santa.
Jesus and the 2 robbers carry their crosses for over 2 kilometers around the town. They are surrounded and flogged by many Roman soldiers. Some men follow the parade of Biblical costumes and inflict suffering upon themselves by whipping their own backs and limbs while covered with red paint. They see this act as their form of atonement for their sins. After walking over 2 kilometers in the scorching heat, they finally arrive to Calvary where they act out the crucifixion.

Im pretty sure that lord jesus christ is watching them from above and probably is glad for people that made a play so people around the world would know the biggest sacrifice of our lord for us
wow- that was extremely interesting
Glad you think so 😊
Binge watching your vlogs since 2 hours ago haha! Love seeing you with your gF.. Q and A vlog pls…
Thanks 😊you got any Qs for us?
@@DaveOnArrival Oh basically how your love story started and traits of each other you like most or hate maybe?😆
How old are you both btw? coz you did mention in one of your vids that Abby is studying still?
thank you sir im from marinduque
Hello 🤗
We have this moral booster to cheer everyone when faced with calamities, BAGYO KA LANG PILIPINO KAMI. Translated in English it meas "YOU ARE ONLY A STORM WHILE WE ARE THE FILIPINOS (brave and strong and will face whatever challenges in life with a strong heart, mind and body)."
I love that saying
@@DaveOnArrival Westerners have a DIFFICULTY COPING with natural calamities even if it's just a couple of storm LOL Westerners lack the LIFE SKILLS to cope up with these disasters because you are soooo dependent on machines and AI to think for your survival.
How do you celebrate Holy Week?
In Florida for example, just for one strong hurricane the people react or in Pinoy we say OVERACTING and panic as if it's the end of the world. The Filipinos will just LAUGH at them bwahahaha
Actually the whole of the Phililppines does their own various versions of reenactment. However, the reenactment in Marinduque is just on a different level because of the Moriones festivity. In some other provinces they actually NAIL the HANDS on the cross. This reenactment is not for the faint of heart.
I have heard of that. Maybe next year I will go to one of those reenactments.
Now you know why the Filipinos can brave and weather countless typhoons and earthquakes in their lives. Whatever adversities we face we ALWAYS BOUNCE BACK and RISE AGAIN.
I understand this now. Filipinos are very resilient and strong
@@DaveOnArrival That's why Filipinos will just laugh at the DRAMA these westerners post in social media. You are just struck by one or two storms a year and when you post something as if it's the end of the world bwahahahaha that's nothing compared to the average of 30 storms landing in the Philippines year in and year out LOL
Been there, and we had the same view haha, maybe one of your drones is flying above us that time of Via Crusis!
I will follow you hope you hug back
Hehe maybe. Thanks for the follow
well acutally, its not a red paint.. its their real blood. it's also a penetence of them. greetings from Morion.
Interesting. I saw them applying red stuff to their bodies that looked like paint
@@DaveOnArrival only the two thief who carried the cross use that, but sometimes accident happen they also got bleed. but i hope you enjoyed staying here. ☺️
Its like You could totally play the part as Jesus ! :)
Do I look like Jesus?
@@DaveOnArrival jesus Christ superstar ( it must be you blonde hair. )
