Pasyon and Visita Iglesia online

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.

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.
