Iloilo has its own beautiful traditional Lenten celebration. Throughout Lenten season, many towns have precious and moving traditions played out every year during Holy Week or Semana Santa, part of a tradition celebrated throughout the country.

Many towns spend all year planning for the spectacle and is home to some of the biggest Lenten traditions. For visitors and tourists here in time for the Lenten spectacle, towns offer plenty of other things to do.

Visita Iglesia is a Lenten base for exploring Iloilo. It is a popular activity among families and friends where they go from one church to the other pausing at each station for quiet meditation and prayer.

Theatrical dramatization of the Passion of Christ brings to life the death of our Lord. Annually celebrated in the town of Barotac Viejo the Taltal is this town’s way of maintaining devotion and traditions today. Read More: http://www.iloilo.gov.ph/tourism/category/festivals/
