TRADITIONAL ‘SALUBONG’ IN CAVITE

THOUSANDS of devout Catholics join the traditional “Salubong” of Jesus Christ and Mama Mary in front of the General Trias City Hall in General Trias City, Cavite. “Salubong” is a Filipino religious tradition celebrated on Easter Sunday, reenacting the meeting between the Risen Christ and his grieving Mother, Mary. It’s a symbolic encounter, often held in a pre-dawn procession with two separate groups carrying the statues of Christ and Mary.
