55 years
Have anyone notice those banners at the front of chapels and churches printed in red 55 years and a crown? During the first time we saw such signage we conclude an Image of the Virgin to be crowned for the 55th year. We were wrong! when one of the EMDC's shown to us the streamer and ask us favor on where to post it on the church, the reason behind is revealed. "Cristo Rey" or The Arcdiocesan Solemnity of Christ the King here in Pampanga is on its 55th year this coming November 25, 2007. I remember the first time I attended, this was consolidated at the parking lot of the former Philippine Christmas Village. From San Jose Chapel where the Blessed Sacrament was venerted we proceed to Paskuhan Village. I was expecting then an Image revered, later do I knew that the Blessed Sacrament exposed to the public was the one revered. Until there was the inclusion of Sto. Cristo del Perdon for 3 years now. The Image of Sto. Cristo del Perdon is the only prominent Image of Christ in the province. The Image fronts the Image of Virgen delos Remedios patroness o the province. It is said that there are more mass of poeple attending the Coronation rites of the patroness than that of the Archdiocesan Commemortion of the Solemnity of Christ the King. The inclusion of the Crucifie Christ might ignite a population greater than the previous once. Why Crucified Christ?, Our King crucified for us to be saved!
