Huwebes Santo
Maundy Thursday, literally, Holy Thursday.
On this day of Holy Week, 12 young men dressed as the 12 apostles go around house to house with a large crucifix. They say prayers at each house. Then the people in the house respectfully kiss the crucifix and give the men a donation before they continue to the next house. In the evening mass is held at the church. There is a reenactment of the Last Supper and the foot washing, in which the priest washes the feet of the 12 apostles. Afterwards there is a banquet for the priest, apostles, lay ministers, mayor, and other guests.
