The Malolos Sto. Nino Festival features a week-long exhibit, a month-long nightly procession of more than a hundred floats of Sto. Nino images.
The Sto. Nino Festival in Malolos, Bulacan, celebrated every last Sunday of January, is the biggest expression of devotion to the Hioly Child Jesus in the Luzon island. The festivities begin with an exhibit of the Sto. Nino (Holy Child) and culminate in a grand procession of hundreds of folk, antique, and new statues of the Holy Child in different manifestations, e.g. as shepherd boy, as keeper of the world, as a sleeping child, etc.
Beautifully decorated carrozas getting ready for dapit, a term derived from pagdapit or invitation. The carroza of the Sto. Niño de Malolos, together with a band, goes around the streets inviting other carrozas along the way. These carrozas in turn follow in a long sequence to the chapel where a translacion mass is held. Dapit is the first of three processions during the fiesta weekend, the other two happens on Sunday, one in the morning and the grand procession in the afternoon.
The biggest Sto. Niño festival in Luzon, it drew more than 130 carrozas bearing different images of the Holy Child in a grand procession on the last Sunday of January. The number of carrozas “filled to the brim” the grounds of the Malolos Cathedral.
Devotees flock inside the beautiful chapel. The antique image of the Sto. Niño de Malolos is said to very miraculous.
One of the images of the Holy Child exhibited at the Ecclesiastical Museum in Barasoain Church. Most of the images displayed in this museum are also used in the procession.
