The AntiqueĂąo Wedding Dance
WRITTEN BY FRANCIS MISSION
“The rekindling of Sinulog or Sayaw unveils the radiant jewels of cultural heritage that gleam throughout the course of time. This peculiar wedding ritual bequeaths a perpetual grace from predecessors of Busalian lineage to the children of this generation. The remnants of ancient soil are concealed in the vintage jar of the old folk who inherited a healing prowess. These jars are vital paraphernalia in the execution of the wedding ritual. The moment the antique jar is opened, it symbolizes the acceptance of fortune, guidance, protection, and blessings to the married couple.
