	The CEBU WEBSITE by Oliver Nunez Jr. : Sinulog
		Sinulog is a dance, said to have a pagan origin but was later incorporated into the Christian faith by the first native Cebuanos to be converted to Christianity as an expression of praise to the child Jesus (called by the Spanish colonizers Santo Niño, which translates to "Holy Child" in English).
		Before 1980, sinulog was purely a religious ritual performed within the confines of the Santo Niño church, usually by aging women who hold a candle in each upstretched hand and do alternating forward and backward dance steps with the feet.
		Unlike the religious sinulog where the dancers wear the same clothes that they wear while buying vegetables and fish from the Carbon market, the cultural sinulog dancers are clad in Igorot costume, Muslim costume, Maria Clara costume, and imaginative variations of these costumes; the sight is really colorful.
