I WAS RAISED AS ROMAN CATHOLIC BY MY PARENTS. WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL, I WAS CONVERTED TO BAPTIST. THEN MY JOURNEY AS A BIBLE BELIEVER AND MY CURIOSITY TO KNOW RELIGION BECOMES STRONGER.
I FOUND MYSELF STUDYING THE BIBLE IN BETHANY BAPTIST BIBLE COLLEGE IN DIAN ST. MAKATI CITY. THERE, I FINISHED MY BASIC BIBLE COURSE. THEN I PURSUE MY BACHELOR OF THEOLOGY DEGREE IN CENTRAL BIBLE COLLEGE. I ALSO TOOK SPECIAL COURSES IN PRESBYTERIAN THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY WHERE I FINISH MY SPECIAL COURSE IN THEOLOGY.
I HEARD ABOUT "SALUBONG" DURING SEMANA SANTA, AND MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, SEEN THIS DURING MY CHILDHOOD BUT MY MEMORIES HAS BEEN ERASED BY SO MANY NEW INPUTS ENTERED TO MY BRAIN.
FROM A REFORMED CATHOLIC VIEW AND FROM WHAT I WITNESSED THIS MORNING, LET ME TELL YOU THE STORY OF THE "SALUBONG".
THE WHOLE CHRISTIANITY WAS SADDENED BY THE NEWS OVER THE DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST THROUGH CRUCIFIXION MUCH MORE MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS BEAR THE PAIN.
BUT THE PROPHECY MUST BE FULFILLED THAT ON THE THIRD DAY, JESUS WILL BE RESURRECTED FROM THE DEAD.
TRUE ENOUGH, ON THE THIRD DAY JESUS CHRIST RESURRECTED FROM THE DEAD. THUS, SALUBONG WAS A PORTRAYAL OF A MOTHER AND SON MEETING TOGETHER AFTER JESUS CHRIST ROSE FROM THE DEAD AND BEFORE HIS ASCENSION TO HEAVEN.
THE ANGEL OF THE LORD REMOVES THE BLACK VEIL OF JESUS MOTHETR DURING THE SALUBONG WHILE JUBILANTLY SINGING HOSANNA, HOSANNA IN THE HIGHEST.
THOUGH THE STORY OF THE LENTEN SEASON TEMPORARY ENDS IN THE SALUBONG, BUT WE KNEW FOR A FACT THAT DURING JESUS CHRIST ASCENSION, HE PROMISED US FOR HIS RETURN AND THAT IS A CALL FOR US TO BE WATCHFUL AND FAITHFUL UNTIL HIS SECOND COMING.
