CEBU City—A procession of iconic images of Cebu’s patron saints on Sunday capped the province’s observance of its 456th founding anniversary in a religious and solemn ceremony dubbed “Pasubdayag sa Pagtuo: A Grand Celebration of Culture, Heritage and Tradition.”
The procession started at the Cebu provincial capitol and ended at the Plaza Independencia where a Holy Mass and cultural presentations were held to celebrate Cebu’s history as a “cradle of Christianity in Asia and a treasure trove of living heritage.”
The “carrozas” bearing the saintly icons were elegantly adorned with flowers and creative designs, reflecting Cebu’s Spanish-era craftsmanship and artistry, accompanied by delegations from the various townships of the province.
The delegations performed their respective traditional music, chants, and prayers unique to their communities, offering a living display of intangible cultural heritage.
