Obando Church
A parish church known for its fertility rites: three days of dancing every May for three patrons, Saint Pascual Baylon, Saint Claire of Assisi and Our Lady of Salambao. Pilgrims dance inside the church, and a procession through the streets follows.
Franciscan missionaries founded the parish. José Rizal wrote about the rites in chapter 6 of Noli Me Tangere.
