Today is the Feast of Our Lady of the Candles. She is the patroness of the whole Western Visayas, but its mainly the district of Jaro that celebrates the fiesta on the 2nd day of February.
No matter the day, residents of Jaro always prepare a spread for eating and merry-making on this day. Friends and relatives are invited over for a buffet, socialization and all the other reasons for a celebration.
For the last five years, I have been invited over for the feasting. But I never had the chance to join or attend the procession for the Lady which is held during the afternoon celebration. The Diocese of Jaro houses the Lady, she can be found on the balcony of the Jaro Cathedral.
Daghang salamat sa pagbasa!!!
