The Feast

Talking so much about the feast happening in Cebu right-now, I asked my father about what is really the difference between the Feast of Sr. Santo Niño and the Sinulog Festival. I was a bit confused about these two celebrations religious cultural feast.

According to my father, the feast for Sr. Santo Niño is somehow having a bit difference with the Sinulog. At first these two celebrations doesn’t happen in a single day. Instead, it is a two days of festivity. The solemn celebration which happens first is for the feast in honor of Sr. Santo Niño. Then, at the second day which is usually Sunday, the Sinulog Festival takes place. He added that, if it is said to be a religious cultural feast, then the Feast for Sr. Santo Niño is the religious celebration and in some ways the Sinulog is a cultural activity.

Now, I am not that confused between the two and I conclude that these two celebrations relates to each other. Lacking any of the two will disarrange the thought and destroy the faithful beliefs of the devotees.
