What’s going on online during #HolyWeek?

MANILA, Philippines – Before the Internet, Holy Week was a truly “unplugged” occasion. With television and radio stations signing off or offering very minimal programming during the holidays, people would spend most of their time outdoors, be it a church or a beach, or keeping to themselves at home. 

Now, the tables have turned, and more and more people are using technology to experience the usual Holy Week activities from a computer or mobile device. Rappler, for instance, even has its own Virtual Stations of the Cross, for those who can’t manage to do the rounds on the ground. 

It goes without saying that social media remains active even during this period of downtime. The hashtag #HolyWeek is widely used, and encompasses the many different goings-on during these 7 days, from grid-locked city traffic to intimate moments of introspection. 

Here are some posts to give you a better idea of what’s been making the rounds recently:
