Friday, August 7, 2009
The Sinulog is an annual festival held on the third Sunday of January in Cebu City, Philippines. The festival honors the child Jesus, known as the Santo Niño (Holy Child), patron of the city of Cebu. It is a dance ritual that commemorates the Cebuano people's pagan origin, and their acceptance of Christianity.
Sinulog festival is the country’s biggest pageantry of sights, sounds and
colors as it honors and pays homage to the patron saint of Cebu , the child Jesus — Sr. Sto. Niño. Aside from the main spectacle which is the Sinulog Grand parade, there are also other activities lined up by the Cebu City Government and the Sinulog Foundation until the grand highlights of the festival from January 9-18, 2010. Masses, procession, dancing and parades mark the weeklong event.
The Sinulog is considered a fetival of hope and good cheer. It is a prayer-dance synchronized to the beat of drums and shouts of “Pit Senor! Viva Sto. Nino!”
