Pasyon and Visita Iglesia online

Leave a reply

How I wish to visit at least seven Catholic churches this Holy Week for the traditional Visita Iglesia but the scourging heat prevents me from doing so. Good thing there are now available sites online where those who practice the Catholic faith can virtually visit several churches from different areas and do their station of the cross. And for those who wish to hear the traditional Pasyon but don’t know where can check out this site to hear all of 21 Pasyon audio clips. You can refer these sites to family and friends who are unwell to go out to observe the Lenten activities.

Bring out your tried and tested microphones

Do you still remember singing Pabasa or Pasyon, the Lenten tradition of chanting the life, passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ? Pabasa is usually sung by a group of elderly people during Holy Week. I’ve experienced joining Pabasa when I was young. The chanters usually use wireless microphones at guitarcenter.com and speakers so the message will be heard in the neighborhood where the Pabasa is held. In the absence of Pasyon chanters in your place, you can now hear Pasyon online through the website of the Catholic Bishop’s Conference of the Philippines (CBCP).

Pabasa

Just a few blocks away from where I live, I heard a group singing Pasyon. The younger generation may not be aware of what Pasyon or Pabasa is all about. It is the Lenten tradition of singing the life, passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The Pasyon singers usually use microphones and speakers to amplify their voices. Modern chanters use devices to enhance the quality of their voices. For me, whatever device they use to sing Pasyon is acceptable as long as they clearly convey the meaning of what they sing that is the life and passion of Christ.
