Out of this insight, camethe popular devotion in the Philippines of theSalubong, depicted,by the way, of the Filipinos’representation of Easter

Origin of Salubong

Sabado de Gloria/Easter Sunday Starts at dawn just before sunrise, with two processions (starts at different points)◦1st procession: The icon of the risen Christ

carried by men ◦2nd procession: The Blessed Virgin Mary

(covered with a black veil to denote her mourning) carried by women

When and how do we celebrate it?

Along the way, people pray the rosary with lighted candles

The ceremony of the meeting begins with the choir singing alleluias as Mary approaches Jesus

Under a canopy, an angel descends ontop of the head of Mary and lifts the black veil from her, exposinga happy mother who

is seeing her son.

When and how do we celebrate it?

Confetti is thrown and choirs would hail the Risen Christ and sing songs of joy

When and how do we celebrate it?
