Cenaculo
Last Updated on Thursday, 06 March 2008 12:15 Written by Shen Monday, 11 February 2008 19:27
A really fascinating tradition the town has kept alive all these years is the Passion Play or Cenaculo. Like the panuluyan, the cenaculo is of prewar vintage, but for a time after the war tradition remained hiatus.
The revival took place when Jose Alquiroz, then a 33-year old mrket collector, organized the “Dika, Libis, Little Baguio Sinakulista” with 23 memebers early in 1950. Mang Jose wrote and directed the yearly presentation while Carlos Mananghaya ran the affairs of the association. At first the cenaculo was performed on an improvised outdoor stage at Dike. The performances were held every evening from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday. This tradition was still obsereved even until today.
