salubong (welcome)
The tradition of Salubong or welcome is the culminating holy week ritual that celebrates the resurrection of Christ. It is an pre dawn reenactment which requires a child dressed as an angel that would be lowered by ropes from a high platform to lift the mourning veil of the statue of a grieving Mother Mary . after the veil is lifted church bells are rung and fireworks exploded as a jubilant procession of the images of Christ and his mother are done all over the town eventually ending up inside the church.
