One of the activities during summer which i really love the most. Since my childhood years, I am fond of joining this activity.
Santa Cruzan (Aurora), a nine - days novena and procession. Songs are sung, and the procession stop in the altars organized in front of the houses where the procession is taken place. This activity is organized by the youth organization of each street of every barangay.
On the 9th day of the Santa Cruzan, there is this so called Flores de Mayo (Reyna Elena), which are joined by the young ladies of the barangay, to symbolize the different image of Mary, Mother of Christ. .
Flores de Mayo portrays the journey of Reyna Elena (Queen Elena) in searching of the wooden cross of Jesus Christ.
I really love this activity during the month of May. Hope you witness or experience being in a Santa Cruzan, this is one of the highlights during the summer in the Philippines.
hi, would like to borrow some pix of santa cruzan
