Santacruzan 2025

About

Every May in the Philippines, the country comes alive with a celebration called Flores de Mayo, which translates to "Flowers of May." This isn't your typical flower festival. It's a vibrant tapestry woven with deep Catholic faith, and vibrant cultural traditions. At its heart, Flores de Mayo is a devotion to the Virgin Mary, expressed through daily offerings of flowers and culminating in a unique pageant known as the Santacruzan.

But Santacruzan offers more than just devotion. The festival is a time for joyous gatherings, with families and friends coming together to share stories, laughter, and delicious food.
