    Holy week in the PH is about pausing, observing of one's beliefs, being quiet, meditation, praying (if you are a believer) and yes anything commercial (aside from the necessities of course) is stopped. The heart of it all is the family.

    Easter celebration here is more spiritual - as the culture dictates, Catholics flock as early as 2am to churches to witness the "salubong" or the meeting of Christ and Mary after resurrection. You can see videos of it and I think most churches still hold those festivities, aside from Easter mass. You did your best and I'm happy always to watch you and your family navigate our Pinoy lifestyle and culture. Salamat for enjoying our country. =)

      Hello ! But if we start reading a King James or modern English King James Bible, and pray earnessly for the Holy Spirit guidance, we can understand personally directly, the will of God thru our Lord Jesus.
      And we dont have to just follow the "dictate" of our tradition or culture as youve said..but by personal Wisdom gifted to us by reading thru Holy Spirit, knowing Lord Jesus closer.

    Easter Sunday was always about the resurrection of Jesus and we were forced to go to church and watch live re-enactments of it as I was growing up then after church we go home and finally get to eat meat after a whole week of just fish and veggies.It’s something very special that I wish my children would have experienced in California but it’s really not a thing here.. it’s an experience that stayed with me and will always be good food for the soul.

    Our Christian values is to be closer to our kids while young . Teach & guide them the way they should be & as much as possible no material things should be replaced with our presence towards them sooner they gonna leave us & start their own lives. Anyhow, I’m just bless that were middle income family back home and inhibited them from being materialistic which we can’t afford but focus instead to their education & im happy now what they had accomplished…so Rebecca you’re in the right tract … keep going.. the world is changing so fast human values becoming wild & weird ….we as parents can’t catch up on what is happening right now especially here in the west..so scary 😟 ..

Starting by eating non meat foods, plainly fruits and vegetable. In observance of holy week, we keep silent. And prayers. 🙏 Thank you guys for good heart to our culture.
    It is the best experience you shared to your children. Mabuhay and welcome again to the Philippines.

    Different would be an understatement. Like they don't do the easter egg hunt here like they do in the states but instead head to the province for holy week to see fam and go to the beach. I realize you liked your kids to do the things you did back home but if you guys intend to stay here long its best to get them acclimated to the way things are done here so the kids can enjoy whats available to them. I try to keep our kids as flexible as possible and they have embraced the new things here and gone away with what use to be in the states where we used to live.

    Poor Harry is last again. Probably because he often chooses different food.
    Nice to see your kids eating some veg. It's good to keep trying fermented or food with probiotics, like some yoghurts and kimchi. It will improve gut and overall health.
    When Becca talked about having cold food when vlogging, actors and film crew have said something similar. The food may look appetising on camera for TV or whatever, but in reality it has been sitting there for ages after many takes.
