CATARMAN, NORTHERN SAMAR - RELIGIOUS FLOATS

Mondragon - St. Anthony of Padua Parish - Virgin Mary Float

When asked by Myrna, and some of her friends, if I would like to go with them to visit some Churches in Northern Samar, I said 'yes', not wishing to be left behind, and grabbed my camera.

During this unconscious Visita Iglesia (On my part - as I was totally unaware of the purpose of the trip) - I saw many attractive religious floats, and took some pictures of them.

From Maundy Thursday, until Black Saturday, many businesses in the Philippines either have shorter operating hours, or close down completely.

Many parishes hold processions, which are influenced by Catholic and pre-Hispanic customs and beliefs.

There are different portrayals of Mary - I have labelled them all as The Virgin Mary, mother of Christ. Please send me a correction - where required.

There could be present Mary Magdalene, "St. Mary Magdalene" and/or Mary of Bethany, the sister of Martha and Lazarus.

As illustrated, most of the floats were relatively small, and on trolleys that were hand pulled by one or two men.

Many floats were also fitted with electric lights, for night time viewing - but I did not see this state.
