Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord

• At all Masses on Easter Sunday, the Renewal of Baptismal Promises and the accompanying Sprinkling Rite replace the Creed and the Penitential Act. In addition to following the homily, these rites may also take place as part of the introductory rites. 
• A Rite of Sprinkling appropriately replaces the Penitential Act on Sundays during the Easter Season, including Pentecost. The double Alleluia is added to the sung dismissal formulary (Easter Vigil, 69). 
• The Sequence is sung or said before the Alleluia at all Masses on Easter Sunday (GIRM no., 62). 
• The double Alleluia is added to the dismissal formulary during the octave of Easter (i.e. “Go forth, the Mass is ended, alleluia, alleluia,” or “Go in peace, alleluia, alleluia” and the response, “Thanks be to God, alleluia, alleluia.”) (Easter Vigil, 69) 
• Salubong is an Easter tradition that is celebrated by Filipino Catholics around the world. Salubong means encounter or in Spanish, “encuentro.” This is a reenactment of the Risen Jesus meeting his sorrowful Mother Mary on the road. The choirs of angels played by the children sing the song of “Regina Caeli” or in Tagalog “Reyna ng Langit” with joy and gladness singing to Mother Mary that her son is risen from the dead.
  A black veil that covers the grieving Mother is then swiped away by an angel and the bells are rung and “Alleluia” is sung. This is a great moment for the Church, especially for the families to come together in procession and prayer and experience the joyful and glorious resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
  
  Here in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, parishes with a large population of Filipinos, celebrate this special encounter with the Risen Lord as early as 4 or 5AM. This is also the Filipino version of the “Sunrise Services,” which some parishes celebrate in the early morning of Easter Sunday.
