The Easter Salubong is the traditional Easter devotion that heralds the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Celebrated at the crack of dawn, it commemorates the glorious encounter between the Risen Christ and his mother, Mary on Easter Sunday.
Scripture may be hazy about the first thing Jesus did upon his resurrection but for devoted Filipinos they are convinced he went to see his mother - as any good son would.
