Easter Sunday "Salubong"

Easter morning or Linggo ng Pagkabuhay is marked with joyous celebration, the first being the dawn ceremony called the Salubong. Images of the Resurrected Christ and the Virgin Mary, are brought in procession together to meet at a designated area called a "Galilea", usually located at the plaza fronting the church or beside the river. It plays out the imagined reunion of Jesus and his mother Mary after the Resurrection. In some locales, statues of other saints involved in the Resurrection narrative accompany them, such as San Pedro Apostol and Sta. Maria Magdalena, as well as San Juan Evanghelista.

The Moment where an angel removes the black veil of Mary.
Showing the transformation of the Virgin Mary to
Nuestra Señora de Alegria

The Virgin Mary is clothed or at least veiled in black to express bereavement. A girl dressed as an angel, positioned on a specially constructed high platform/scaffold or suspended in mid-air, sings the Regina Coeli in Latin or a local language and then dramatically removes the black veil, signifying the end of her grieving. This is accomplished by the angel simply pulling off the veil, or by tying it to balloons or doves and releasing these into the air. The Virgin is then transformed into the Nuestra Señora de Alegria, or Our Lady of Joy. The moment is marked by pealing bells and fireworks, followed by the procession or an Easter Mass that begins right after sunrise either at 6 or 7 in the morning. In some parishes however the pratice is done on midnight of Easter Sunday after the Easter Virgil the night before.

Pagsanjan Good Friday 2011

On Good Friday Christians remember the day that Jesus was killed on the cross. He was nailed to a wooden cross by Roman soldiers. This is the reason why the cross is an important sign for Christians today. There are crosses in churches and many Christians wear a cross on a chain. At Easter people eat hot cross buns which have a cross shape on the top.

Good Friday is a sad day and churches never have flowers or decorations on this day. The church is left dark and there is just a simple cross on the altar. It is known as Good Friday because Christians believe that Jesus gave up his life for the good of everyone.

The Crucifixion is remembered in Jerusalem even today. Large crowds of Christians take the same path as Jesus. In some countries people act out the story of Jesus' last day while others watch and think about the events which happened long ago.

The Philippines become a center for tourist attraction on Good Friday where real-life reenactments of the crucifixion have become a gory spectacle. Each year, hundreds of devotees endure the pain and suffering of crucifixion to feel what Christ went through to die for the sins of mankind. Apart from the procession of crucifixions, some devotees also take to the streets, whipping and immolating themselves mercilessly as an act of penance.

While the spirit of gloom that surrounds Good Friday is very real and in keeping with the depressing nature of the occasion of Christ’s death, the mourning is temporary and erupts in celebration and rejoicing on Easter Sunday. In fact, Good Friday should not be absorbed by the death of Christ, that is too much empowerment given to death when what Christ did was to conquer it. It is, therefore, a celebration of the being of Christ as he stooped to take on flesh and defeat it for the sake of mankind.

When the sun is down, most of the family that owns an Image brings their Santos and Carozzas at the church for procession...
