Sinulog is a dance ritual performed in honor
of the holy image Señor Santo Niño
de Cebu. It is danced by moving two
steps forward and one step backward in sync with a primal drumbeat provided
by a band.
The annual Sinulog Festival in Cebu is one
of the biggest in the Philippines: a week-long spectacle of Catholic masses,
processions and concerts, culminating in a grand parade of costumed
dancers and accompanying floats depicting the different periods of history
behind the development of the festival.
Here are a series of webpages about the festival, featuring some of the 800+ pictures I took during this amazing week:
