As a predominantly Catholic country, the Philippines observes the “Holy Week” or the last week of Lent. The Holy Week see many Filipinos return to their provinces to be with family and participate in traditional practices such as processions, passion plays or “Senakulo”, and the visiting of churches or “Visita Iglesia.”

In conjunction with the National Arts Month this February, let us revisit Iloilo to witness the significance, solemnity and artistry of Visita Iglesias.

“Fiesta Filipinas Rerun: An Online Celebration of Philippine Festivals” is a project of the Department of Foreign Affairs, in partnership with the National Commission on Culture and the Arts (NCCA) and the Department of Tourism (DOT).
