Santa Cruzan in Bacarra
While some Santa Cruzan celebrations are known for its lavish flair and beautiful young ladies participating as Sagala, attending one in a quaint town will make the experience a more pleasant one. Last Sunday in Bacarra, Ilocos Norte, Andie and I had the pleasure of documenting several clients' young sons and daughters as they portrayed Constantine the Great and his mother, Queen Helena. We were also fortunate enough to witness both celebrations at the Iglesia Filipina Independiente church and at St. Andrew the Apostle's church.
More about this and additional photos after the jump.
Minus the extravagance and bonafide beauty Queens in the Santa Cruzan coronation program we witnessed, the people of Bacarra had more important things to offer that day. One venue was able to maintain throughout the program a warm ambiance brought about by the closely-knit families attending mass there. While the other was brimming with earnest hope as parents intently watched their beautifully-dressed children march in the aisle and take stage in front of the altar.
There were some pleasant surprises as well as a marching band played inside the Bacarra church. The drizzle during the evening procession also didn't dampen the spirit of the churchgoers who still continued their walk in the street around the church.
Andie and I definitely enjoyed covering the event here. We had plenty of fun moments getting the kids to pose right and watching them do their kiddie things in their adorable costumes and dresses. Add to that the excitement brought by the colorful atmosphere of the Santa Cruzan and Mayflower festival which makes it a must-see event for photographers.
