The vibrant culture and the practice of the Catholic religion are two of the great gifts Philippines gained from the Spanish. And this culture that was introduced by the Spaniards has woven itself so well into the culture of the islands that each and every celebration is a vivid and vibrant event where everybody joins in.
In Manila celebrations take place in May and during the whole month of May prayers are held in honour of Mother Mary and flowers are offered. On the last Sunday of the month Mother Mary’s ‘caroza’ is escorted to the church in a colorful procession. The procession is held at night and everybody takes part in this grand event. It is the height of the Flores de Mayo and the whole city is filled with lights and people rejoicing on the streets. Young ladies generally are attired in beautiful gowns and residents sing songs of praise and purity.
