Performers of the “Senakulo” or the stage and street performance of the passion, death, and resurrection of Christ are continuing the years of tradition in Cainta that make the Holy Week in this town a unique one in the country. ManilaBulletin
The office of Cainta Mayor Elen Nieto told Manila Bulletin that this year, at least 18 groups of Senakulo performers are presenting their own version of the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ during the stretch of the Holy Week, starting on Palm Sunday until Easter Sunday.
Roman soldiers riding on horse-drawn chariots are among the performers seeing action during the parade, giving the audience a first hand and closest view of the Senakulo artists. All of the actors and actresses are in full costumes complete with appropriate accessories and props as they walk on the streets.
Former Cainta Mayor and now the town’s municipal administrator, Johnielle Keith Nieto will also march on the street as a Senakulo participant.
