Sinulog 2011 (Cebu, Philippines)

Sinulog is held each year on the third Sunday of January in Cebu City to honor the Santo Niño, or the child Jesus, who used to be the patron saint of the whole province of Cebu (since in the Catholic faith Jesus is not a saint, but God). It is essentially a dance ritual which remembers the Filipino people’s pagan past and their acceptance of Christianity.


This is a 15-second clip from the Sinulog Festival in Cebu, Philippines. I was able to witness the Philippines' biggest street party first-hand! Enjoy!
