Come Celebrate Sinulog on the Gold Coast Sunday, 25 January 2015
Novena before the Mass at 11am at Casey Hall, Sacred Heart Church, Clear Island Waters
Bring your Santo Ninos
DANCE GROUPS ARE WELCOME TO JOIN
Come Join the biggest party celebration on the Gold Coast where you can paint your faces, dance and pray all at the same time!
Follow the movement of the waves “sulog” and dance to the Sinulog Beat - one step forward two steps backward, hands up and down with a candle or a scarf and ask the Senyor Santo Nino to grant your petitions (referred to us ‘Pit Senyor or Sangpit Senyor).
A little bit of Sinulog history
Magellan Arrives in Cebu in 1521
Baptises Rajah Humabon and Humamay
Offers the statue of the Santo Nino as a gift to Queen Humamay as she is baptised as Queen Juana and King Carlos
At that time sickness befell Cebu and Queen Juana prayed to the Santo Nino at her altar for a miracle. While she was praying one of the men lying sick on the ground rose up and started to dance in front of the Santo Nino statue moving one step forward and two steps backward – the first Sinulog dance by a man named “Nuog”
The Sinulog dance follows the move of the water current moving forward and backwards
