Beneath the Latin Sky

A WATTPAD HOLY WEEK SPECIAL

In the quiet but divided streets of 1950s Angeles City, where American Protestant influence grows beside centuries-old Catholic churches, two souls meet beneath the shadow of Holy Week.

Sebastian "Sunny" Navarro - a reserved, traditional Catholic altar server devoted to the Latin Mass - never expected to fall in love with a girl from a Four-Gospel Evangelical church.

Miriam Grace Conolly - called "Glyde" by her American-raised family - was raised to believe Catholics were bound by man-made traditions. Scripture was her foundation. Her faith was firm. Her future was planned.

Until she met him.

What begins as quiet conversations after school turns into something deeper - something dangerous.

As Holy Week approaches, Glyde finds herself torn between:

The faith she was raised in

The man she cannot stop loving

And a Church she was taught to question

When her growing affection for Sunny is discovered, her family confronts her. Her church rejects her curiosity. And one devastating night, she is forced to choose - obedience... or love.

Set against candlelit Tenebrae, solemn Latin chants, and the political tension of American presence in Pampanga, this is a story about faith, sacrifice, and the cost of loving someone the world tells you not to.

Because sometimes, the hardest cross to carry... is the one placed between two hearts.
