FEAST OF STO. NINO-FILIPINO STYLE
We celebrated yesterday the Feast of Sto. Nino in our Parish Church.. Thousands of devotees joined the annual parade of images of Sto. Nino. The mood was very festive and people were dancing in the streets. In other parts of the country especially Cebu City and Kalibo, Aklan near Boracay(South of Manila), this event becomes a tourist attraction. You will see how people painted their faces and whole bodies with different striking colors. Filipinos leaving abroad are coming home for this activity to join the celebration. It's a way of manifesting our faith and Thanksgiving for the coming of the Child Jesus in our lives.
