Salubong

salubong

The word Salubong refers to the act of meeting someone who is arriving. As the word connotes, the celebration is a re-enactment of the first meeting of Jesus Christ and his mother Mary.  Salubong is an Easter Sunday pre-dawn ritual that re-enacts the Risen Christ’s meeting with His mother.   The  participants  in the procession are segregated by gender.  The men and boys follow the image of Jesus Christ, while the women and girls follow the image of Mary.  The procession ends with the two groups meeting in the church, where the Mass is said.    An Easter  egg  hunt  for the kids  and  an Easter fellowship  follows at the Filipino Chaplaincy pastoral house where barbeque and Filipino  dishes are served.  Salubong was   initially  held  at St. Michael’s  school grounds  but  since 2011  the venue is  at the Nagle College Hall.
