It’s the day of eggs, rabbits, and most specially for us Christians, we celebrate today the resurrection of the Lord, Jesus Christ. However, this year Easter is celebrated on different dates. March 23 western countries and April 27 on eastern countries. But even if our country is located on the east, we still celebrate Easter today, since it marks the end of this weeks’ holy week.

In predominantly Roman Catholic Philippines, the morning of Easter (known in the national language as “Pasko ng Muling Pagkabuhay” or the Pasch of the Resurrection) is marked with joyous celebration, the first being the dawn “Salubong,” wherein large statues of Jesus and Mary are brought together to meet, imagining the first reunion of Jesus and his mother Mary after Jesus’ Resurrection. This is followed by the joyous Easter Mass. [wiki]
