2. What is Salubong?
The re-enactment of reunion of the Risen Christ with the Virgin Mary
It is led by the town’s Cathedral
The witnessing the resurrection of Christ by his mother and his disciples

3. Origin of Salubong
St. Ignatius noticed that the Sacred Scriptures never mentioned Jesus appearing to his grieving mother after his resurrection
Out of this insight, came
the popular devotion in
the Philippines of the
Salubong, depicted,
by the way, of the Filipinos’
representation of Easter

4. When and how do we celebrate it?
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

5. 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 on
top of the head of
Mary and lifts the black
veil from her, exposing
a happy mother who
is seeing her son.

6. When and how do we celebrate it?
Confetti is thrown and choirs would hail the Risen Christ and sing songs of joy
At the end of the Dawn mass, various activities, like a fiesta begins, to celebrate the victory of our resurrection

It signifies how powerful God is for he sacrificed his son and brought Christ back to life again to save us from all of our sins.
