Sabado de Gloriaprop. nEaster Saturday, literally, Glorious Saturday.After the mass on Saturday evening at 10:00 p.m. the large stature, birhin, called Dolorosa (meaning 'grief' in Spanish) is taken to the plaza. The head and face of the statue are covered with a black cloth and represent the grieving mother of Jesus. It is placed up in a bamboo scaffold, along with a young girl who sings a Spanish song. While she sings, a group of people down below dance, in order to cheer up the grieving statue. This is called panolod. The dancers' faces are covered so no one knows who they are. After a while, they take off their masks and the ceremony turns into a real dance, baili with drinking.rel wdDominggo Soalawpanolod
