    The Moriones is a lenten rites held

    on Holy Week on the island


    of Marinduque, Philippines. The "Moriones"
    are men and women in costumes and
    masks replicating the garb of biblical
    Roman soldiers as interpreted by local
    folks. The Moriones or Moryonan tradition
    has inspired the creation of other festivals
    in the Philippines where cultural practices
    or folk history is turned into street festivals.

    Senakulo is a play that tells the


    story of life, passion, and resurrection of
    Jesus Christ. The dramatization is
    oftentimes held in the mountain area
    within the town, sometimes just within
    the church. In some parts of the
    country, the play is done in the streets
    where interested tourists could watch.
    There’s also another form of Senakulo
    where performers in costumes walk in
    the streets under the heat of the sun
    and hit themselves to bleed with lashes
    as an act of contrition. It ends on Easter
    Sunday with the reenactment of Jesus’s
    resurrection.

    Salubong is another ritual during Holy


    Week in the Philippines. It is usually done
    very early in the morning on Easter Sunday,
    usually at 4 o’clock. It’s a reenactment of
    the first meeting of Christ and Mary after His
    resurrection. The ritual starts with two
    processions: one side is the group carrying
    the statue of Mary covered with a black veil
    as a sign of mourning, and on the opposite
    side is the group carrying the image of
    Christ.
