SINULOG FESTIVAL 2012 in Cebu

Sinulog is the most sought after festival in the country and I must say in Asia!  It is a festivity which draws the crowd together to worship and give thanks to Sr, Sto. Niño. But do you know that Sinulog was originally a warrior dance and not a religious ritual? The duel is executed with the use of a scythe or in native term (Sundang) together with of a shield and the steps becomes more complicated as the fight becomes more and more intense. But then later on it evolves and became a dance offering to the miraculous image of Sr. Sto. Niño. For more info about its history click here or here !

A day before Sinulog (January 14), I strolled in SM City Cebu and came across with these dancers..
