On Palm Sunday, priests will bless the palaspas (palms) and the believers will bring them back to their houses to protect them from evil spirits.
People will put a grotto or altar on every street corner for the pabasa or the reading of Christ's death and resurrection. Sometimes they call it pasyon for Christ's passion.
Pasyon usually starts on Maundy Thursday, where old people will lead the prayers in the form of singing or chanting.
