Abstract
As the largest Catholic country in Asia, with about 92 million faithful, the Philippines is the scene of various religious celebrations with deep historical roots as a result of 333 years of Spanish colonization (1565-1898). From the feast of the Black Nazarene of Quiapo on January 9, the Santo Niño of Cebu (Sinulog) on the third Sunday of January, to the crucifixion ceremony during Holy Week, to the closing of the year with the celebration of the Virgin of Guadalupe of Mexico on December 12, the whole country moves to places of worship to reverence important Catholic devotions.
