Doloolow: Wailing over the Suffering of Jesus, Yap, Micronesia

On Good Friday at St. Mary's Parish in Yap, Micronesia, women sit around the image of Christ on the Cross and wail to recount and mourn Jesus’ Passion. Its expressive power is matched in few Catholic contexts. The doloolow—Yapese for “wailing” or “lamentation”—builds on a cultural tradition that endures at funerals, where women traditionally wail in front of the body during the overnight vigil. Their wails tell the dead things that they wished they’d said or done more of while the person was alive. Learn more at http://www.catholicsandcultures.org/m...
