Every catholic Pilipino has its own belief about worshiping god. Holy week is the week before easter, celebration to remember the leading up to the death of Christ.

The small municipality of alimodian spend much time to rejoice holy week. The whole day until the night draw closer, alimodiananon start off  the celebration by waking up early to set up there selves to scale until the end of the hill “Agony Hill” where the three crosses are located. Before reaching the last station, everyone must leave behind all the 13 station to yield their prayers and sacrifices to the name.The hill is measured about four and half kilometers from the chapel going to the last station “the three crosses”. Every station tells the story of Jesus sacrifices and the things that he done on earth before he punished to be nailed in the cross.

The second part of the celebration is the parade of the saints or what we call “Prosisyon”. Every street  in our town has their have possession of statue of Jesus , a life sized statue were arranged to execute the scene of Jesus life until the scene were god is nailed on his carried cross. The same in hill-walking the parade have also a 13 station to go beyond, and we named it “Kapiya”. Every kapiya tells also the story of Jesus sacrifices.

And the statues of different saints who had contributed much role of Jesus life. The parade takes not more than three hours of walking while sending a prayer to the lord and giving there thankful messages.
