MAUNDY THURSDAY

Maundy Thursday, typically known as Holy Thursday, is one of the significant religious Christian holiday celebrations in the Philippines. It is part of Holy Week that was brought to the Philippines hundreds of years ago with the arrival of the Spanish regime. Maundy Thursday in the Philippines is the day before Good Friday. This day is the day before Jesus Christ was crucified.

In the Philippines, there are only two kinds of holidays: regular holidays, and special non-working holidays.

Regular holidays are those that usually have a fixed date, such as New Year’s Day, Independence Day, and Christmas Day.

Special Holidays, on the other hand, are more flexible. Apart from being enacted by Congress, they can also be declared by the President of the Philippines.
