Hi, I found this from Google: Basically, the festival is done by a dance ritual, in which it tells the story of the Filipino people's pagan past and their acceptance of Christianity. The word “Sinulog” means “graceful dance”, wherein it all started in 1980 with a simple dance that represents the “sulog” (or current) of a river in Cebu. I'm hoping it helps.....
Queen Humamay of Cebu was dancing a Sinulog dance. It was the first dance done after she received the image of Holy Child Jesus from Ferdinand Magellan way back 1521 also the start of Christianity. Dinagyang and Ati atihan are another version of prayer dance also dedicated to Santo Nino.
nice...❤
👌👌👌
Thanks
question: why is SINULOG always the dance that is done, not dinagyang or Ati-Atihan ??
