Taong Putik Festival - Nueva Ecija Events

Taong Putik Festival

No Specific date | Aliaga, Nueva Ecija, Philippines

 

At the crack of dawn, scores of mud-covered, barely dressed devotees make their appearance, asking for alms and candles form the wide awake town folks. This practice mimics a biblical myth about St. John the Baptist, who was said to have done the same thing in his lifetime. A special mass culminates the occasion, reinforcing its spiritual nature to the people of Aliaga.
