Kamai ni Hesus , Lucban , Quezon , Philippines. Happy Easter

 

Interrupting our regular uploads to wish everyone a Happy Easter.

Easter in Tagalog is Pasko ng Pagkabuhay and it is an important catholic joyus celebratio, the first being the dawn ceremony called the Salubong (Filipino for "meeting") that re-enacts the imagined reunion of Christ and his mother after the Resurrection. Statues of the Risen Christ and the Virgin Mary are borne in two separate processions that meet at a designated area called a Galilea, usually in the plaza fronting the church. At easter it is crowded at this landmark.
