Santacruzan Ever
The santacruzan in Ahmadi was simple but profound...but seeing who I thought was Ever topped that.
First thing first: I am may be wrong with Ever.
Last Friday, we went to Ahmadi Church to watch a Santacruzan. Here are some of the photos we took.
Santacruzan participants line up for the short parade. If you wonder who the man in brown cloak represents, that's Methuselah.
If truth be hold, I think the organisers of this Santacruzan was faithful to this list of characters in a Santacruzan.
Youngsters who played various characters in Ahmadi's Santacruzan.
This is the first Santacruzan where I saw an Aeta character featured in the pageant.
Reyna Esperanza who represents the virtue of hope.
The legendary founder of the true cross, Reyna Elena, accompanied by Constantine, her son.
Angelic-looking girl who is one of the Ave Maria's.
Santa Maria, madre de Dios at the end of parade -- carried by Filipino leaders of various Pinoy organisations in Ahmadi.
Father Fred Micua, the Filipino priest at Our Lady of Arabia in Ahmadi greets the faithful.
And then, I spot this gentleman. Hmmm...Is it Ever? Maybe not.
Or maybe, I'm right.
(Ever is a Kuwait-based Pinoy artist-cum-blogger behind Pamatay Homesick and countless articles for POC. He is also a member of Pindot, Kuwait's premiere Filipino digital photographers' group).
Other photos are courtesy of Rhyan Alcantara, an OFW in Kuwait.
I was so surprised na meron santacruzan dyan, so nakilala ka ba ni Ever? small world ano? kelan kaya tayo nagkikita? hahaha
by the way......miss u Nebz ;-P
natawa ako bigla sa dulo, kala ko hanep ang title,yun pala'y nandoon nga sa dulo si ever bumubutingting hahaha, galing mo nebz magpatawa :-) msta ka na jan?
At nagkita kayo ni Mr. Pamatay Homesick! Huhmn.
Hinahanap ko po ang picture niyo Kuya Nebz.
@Alice, Siock, RJ: Hindi kami nagkita kami ni Ever. Hindi kc ako sure na sya un. Pero I called out hoping na lilingon s'ya. He didn't. So I thought it wasn't Ever (kamukha lang). So when I reached home, I looked again at the photo and compared it with Ever's Pamatay Homesick banner. I think I'm right. Si Ever nga un. Nakita ko na sya pero hindi pa nya ako nakikita. Hahaha.
"I called out hoping na lilingon s'ya. He didn't."
Ano bang sinabi mo? "Pssst..." o di kaya "Hoy!" or "Yo!". Kahit ako hindi ako lilingon kung ganyan ang sigaw mo. : )
