Father Robert Reyes, known in the Philippines as the “Running Priest,” visits the sick and the elderly who could not go to church on Feb. 22, 2023, Ash Wednesday.
The priest used to run to bring attention to the issues that he is passionate about, such as human rights, the environment, and social inequality.
The observance of Ash Wednesday officially starts the season of Lent, a religious observance in the liturgical year commemorating the 40 days Jesus Christ spent fasting in the desert. (Photos by Jire Carreon)
