Holy Week is just around the corner and with us being a country of roughly 80% Roman Catholics, Holy Week superstitions are once again practiced. From the more common myths of being discouraged to take a bath during Good Friday and Black Saturday to less heard-of beliefs such as rain being considered Holy Water if it falls on Easter Sunday, it has been a part of our very rich culture and tradition that we tend to follow some of it.
In case you haven’t heard some of these superstitions, here are 10 superstitious belief that Filipinos (strictly) follow during Holy Week.
3It Is Discouraged To Pack And Move Houses
Linked to the belief that sweeping the floor at night could bring out good luck and blessings, many believe that moving into a bare home before Easter Sunday can drive bad luck in as it is “unprotected”. As believed, it is better to stay in and let the Holy Week pass because by then Jesus has risen again, and you can also start anew in your new home.
Unless you are in a hurry to move out of your old house into the new one, stop packing first and focus on reconnecting with God during this week. There might be no bearing whatsoever to your house-hopping, but don’t wait for unfortunate events to happen before you believe.
