REDISCOVER FAITH.
ENCOUNTER OUR MORIONES TRADITION.
Every Holy Week, our streets come alive with the Moriones Rites – a powerful display of faith, penitence, and rich local artistry.
Experience a centuries-old tradition where history, art, and devotion walk hand in hand through the streets of Santa Cruz.
MORIONES IS NOT YOUR USUAL PHILIPPINE FESTIVAL
While equally colorful as most festivals around the Philippines, Marinduque’s Moriones tradition is much more somber, reflective, and penitential in nature.
A PILGRIMAGE OF FAITH AND CULTURE
Although primarily a religious exercise, the Moriones experience is also an encounter with the local food, music, and other cultural features of the “Santakruzin” way of life.
A TESTIMONY OF COMMUNITY SPIRIT
The Moriones tradition stands as a profound reflection of our town’s unwavering unity and shared devotion. It is a deeply collaborative effort where generations of Santa Cruz families come together year after year, transforming individual acts of faith into a vibrant, enduring celebration of community heritage.
