This study problematizes the interface between religion and social media in the observance of Traslación. It uses Hegel’s dialectics of the progression of the three suppositions: thesis, anti-thesis, and synthesis, makes sense of this intersection in such a way that the synergy juxtaposes religion (thesis) and social media (anti- thesis) which when combined resolved their divergence resulting to digital religion (synthesis). Utilising Anderson’s Theory of Imagined Community, the study establishes the similar attributes between a political community and Traslación. However, the concept of Third Space by Bhaba and Media Arts Theory by Packer crystallize the postulations that Traslación which has both physical and online/digital dimensions can merge and become one as a digital imagined community.
