One More Time
Nostalgic about Salubong 2012.
It may still be the dead of night but in our household, people are already starting to get up and prepare for the Salubong procession...
A beautiful moon, a beautiful night...however everything else is still shrouded by the veil of darkness, despair and gloom over the death of Christ...not for long... Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Every Easter Sunday, family members have two options: A) accompany the image of the Alegria to the Parish and join the procession from the start; B) Wait for the procession outside our house. I wish they will revert to the old procession route wherein the procession passes through our street as well during Good Friday, not just Easter.
The procession is here...San Pedro leading the way...gosh, in my head a picture of my family joining the Salubong Procession was taken and published in a newspaper...it's in my head since I was young...now the question is, is it real or not?
From smallest to Biggest...procession towards the Galilea
Scenes from the Galilea
Anticipation...
Images of saints arrive one by one...
The Alegria
The Alegria arriving on cue
Singing the Regina Ceoli
Technology bridging gaps...watching the Salubong rites via Ipad!
Removal of the veil...Queen of Heaven, rejoice! For your son Jesus has risen, Hallelujah!
Salubong Procession
Salubong na! The Angel who removed the veil from the Virgin (far right) leads the images
Salubong. For the first time in many years, the Risen Christ and the Virgin are equal in size...looks nicer visually
The Risen Christ back at the Parish.
The image of the Risen Christ and the Alegria arrives at the Parish grounds; immediately the images are brought down and prepared for the entrance (Easter Mass, entrance of the priest).
Jesus Christ is Alive! Blessing the altar and the images after the entrance
