Easter Sunday; Resurrection Sunday.
Very early in the morning, while it is still dark, the statue
called Dolorosa, meaning ‘Grieving’, is taken down
from her bamboo scaffold in the plaza. This statue
represents the grieving mother of Jesus. It is taken around
the plaza in a procession. The statue of Christ called
‘Resurrection’ is taken around in the opposite
direction until the two statues meet. This meeting is called
soalaw. The black veil is removed from the Dolorosa
statue and then all the people go back to the church
together and the priest says mass.
