Wow that's so interesting. I can't get over "penitensya "; I grew up Catholic and there was "penance" which was the same idea of repentance, but no flogging involved. I know in ancient times, some in the Church practised self-flagellation, just like penitensya, but I had no idea it is still practised today by some. Do people see it as strange or extreme? I'm just curious.
I like your grandma's advice too for Good Friday.
So interesting, thank you!
Hi @lynncoyle1. Thanks for dropping by. There are only few who still practice this and new geberation would see it as extreme I guess. That includes me hehe
You are so welcome; it is a very interesting post.
That's what I was really wondering ;)
