("The Meeting")

The Easter morning has always been

a big thing for us Filipinos.

Hopefully up to now.

But for sure, with Roxasians

(our town is called Roxas, 

after the late Pres. Manuel Roxas)

and the parishioners of

St. Isidore, the farmer parish

it is still the best for the easter celebration
after the "Risen Christ!."

Kids are dressed up like angels.

Little boys and little girls alike.

A long month of singing practice

for these so willing innocents.

On the early Sunday morning

the are all ready with 

their angel like white clothes,

their delicately made angel wings,

their angelic voices

continuously singing to wake

the town and

commemorate the

meeting of the risen Christ

and His mother Mary.

The whole town,

Catholics and non-Catholics

get up early at 4 o'clock in the morning 

to witness and

hear these little children sing

and praise the Lord...

the procession will end at the Main Church of the town

where the Easter egg hunting

for the kids ending the morning celebrations.

Happy Easter bloggers!
