Back to Memory Lane

Last friday Jan. 9(Phils.Time)people through all walks of life participated in the feast of the Black Nazarene.We are originally from Quiapo,Manila near the Malacanang Area(office of the President of the Phils)before we tranferred here at Cainta,Rizal.we lived at a compound(pasilyo)with 17 apartments (17 families+++).I have fond memories at that place since we were all raised there from childhood up to the time i got married.What i missed about it is the closeness among our neighborhood especially during special occasion such as birthdays,christmas,anniversary and other fun fair activities.Why?because its the only time we can play with our friends and eat a lot of goodies. We have learned to share lots of things.We were one big family as I describe it.During the 70's,we started the Blocked Rosary with Our Mother Mary.Every evening at 7 ,we pray the rosary and the image of our mother is transferred to the next house and so on, The anniversary of our Blocked Rosary is after the Feast of the Black Nazarene.So what makes it different from the other celebration I guess its how we celebrate it.I tell you.you will enjoy every minute of it.Why????
