Moriones Festival
A Holy Week parade of people dressed as Moryons, known locally as the Moryonan, held from March to April. They walk the main road that links Santa Cruz, Gasan, Boac and Mogpog, the four towns that keep it.
In the evening Boac and Santa Cruz act out the story behind it: Longinus, a blind soldier, punctures Jesus with his spear, and drops of the blood restore his sight. The province has held the festival for almost 200 years, and it is one of the oldest religious festivals in the country.
