Kapampangan ay namamanata sa bayan ng Tarlac kung saan isinasariwa at inaalala nila ang pagsasakripisyo ng Panginoong
Hesukristo at ang hirap na nagawa nito para sa lahat. Ang pamamanata ay ginagawa upang humingi ng kapatawaran, maituwid
ang mga kasalanan at pasasalamat sa mga biyaya na ating natatanggap.
