Santacruzan stands as a highly anticipated occasion in the Filipino calendar, celebrated with enthusiasm across towns and cities nationwide. Rooted in rich history and religious significance, it unfolds as a captivating and elaborate parade.
Originating in the 1800s, Santacruzan has remained a centerpiece of the Flores de Mayo festivities. Revered in honor of Queen Helena of Constantinople, mother of Constantine the Great, it commemorates her pilgrimage to discover the cross of Jesus' crucifixion, which she brought back to Rome. Central to Santacruzan are three virtues embodied by Queen Helena: hope, charity, and faith.
