Penafrancia Festival

     Ever heard of the Penafrancia Festival in Bicol? I would like to share some photos of the fest taken by the Tercentenary Photographers in Nueva Caceres (Naga City)





Traslacion: One of the Main highlights of the Festival where "Ina" is carried through a procession from the Penafrancia Church to the Naga City Cathedral.

Voyadores: Countless men from different walks of life who are devoted to Ina.

The Porta Mariae: One of the newest Landmark in Naga City
Tercentenary Mass: After the Traslacion Procession, people gather for the mass conducted by the Archbishop
The Patroness of Bicol: Our Lady of Penafrancia
Aerial/Panoramic View: Naga City Metropolitan Cathedral and Porta Mariae


Fluvial Procession: After a week of joyful celebration. From the Naga Cathedral, Ina is then brought to the Naga City Basilica.

They are comparable to the Sto. Nino de Cebu...
both of them are most superb Christian Celebrations in Southeast Asia.
And
Black cassocks rather than white are the most formal attire of all religious occasion...
Symbolizes poverty, simplicity, emptiness, Humility and ready to give your life to God
