Segment 07: Gender and Religious Activities
Scope and Contents
[00:42:31 – 01:08:00] Guillen has observed that men do not like to be too involved, and it leaves women to more religious activities. Men may participate in parish organizations but mostly just attend church on Sundays because it is more obligatory. She reasons that this is due to men working all the time and that they are tired. [00:49:45] Guillen’s favorite religious activity was the catechist teachings. She reflects that she found a lot of satisfaction from teaching. She’s observed that most people come to church for Palm Sunday, Ash Wednesday, Holy Thursday, and Good Friday. Guillen speaks to the local customs for ceremonies of Las Manaitas and the Posadas Novena.
