Easter Sunday
March 31, 2024
* Procession "Salubong"
* Holy Mass

Easter Sunday is the day Christians celebrate Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead, which occurred three days after his crucifixion. It's the most significant event in the Christian faith, symbolizing hope, renewal, and the promise of eternal life. It's marked by special church services and traditions like egg hunts, symbolizing new life.

The "salubong" procession during Holy Week is a traditional Filipino Catholic ritual that commemorates the meeting of Jesus Christ and his mother, Mary, after his resurrection. It typically takes place on Easter Sunday morning, before dawn. The significance of the "salubong" lies in its portrayal of the triumph of life over death, symbolizing the resurrection of Jesus and the fulfillment of God's promise of salvation. It is a deeply symbolic and emotional event for Filipino Catholics, serving as a powerful reminder of the hope and joy that Easter brings.

The Holy Mass on Easter Sunday is a central part of the Christian celebration of Easter. It is conducted to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is the cornerstone of the Christian faith. The Easter Sunday Mass is a joyful and celebratory occasion, as it marks the culmination of the Holy Week events, beginning with Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, his Last Supper with his disciples, his crucifixion, and finally, his resurrection. It is a time for believers to gather together to worship and give thanks for the victory of life over death and the hope of eternal salvation that Jesus' resurrection offers.
