Tungkol sa Event

The Moriones Festival is one of the Philippines' most iconic cultural celebrations, held annually during Holy Week right here in Marinduque. Participants don elaborate Roman centurion costumes called 'moriones' - complete with hand-painted wooden masks depicting fierce warrior faces - and roam the streets for an entire week of theatrical passion play performances. The festival culminates on Easter Sunday with the dramatic re-enactment of the story of Longinus, the Roman soldier whose blind eye was miraculously healed by the blood of Christ. After his conversion, he was ultimately captured and beheaded by his fellow soldiers. Thousands of Marinduquenos and visitors from across the Philippines and beyond gather every year to witness this powerful and deeply spiritual blend of faith, folklore, and local artistry - a tradition that has been practiced for centuries and remains the cultural heartbeat of our island.
