Easter Saturday, literally, Glorious Saturday.
After the mass on Saturday evening at 10:00 p.m. the large
stature, birhin, called Dolorosa (meaning ‘grief’ in
Spanish) is taken to the plaza. The head and face of the
statue are covered with a black cloth and represent the
grieving mother of Jesus. It is placed up in a bamboo
scaffold, along with a young girl who sings a Spanish song.
While she sings, a group of people down below dance, in
order to cheer up the grieving statue. This is called
panolod. The dancers' faces are covered so no one
knows who they are. After a while, they take off their
masks and the ceremony turns into a real dance, baili
with drinking.
