Today is the Feast of Santo Niño. It is celebrated every third Sunday of January all over the Philippines. The Sinulog Festival in Cebu City is the most popular and the biggest one celebrated in honor of the Holy Image of Santo Niño.
Tondo where Nissa’s family live and our town in Pangasinan are also celebrating their own fiesta today. Until last year since Nissa got married, we used to celebrate with them braving the traffic of the place while a long parade of floats, bands and several images of the Child Jesus lined down the streets. Imagine going home stuck in traffic for more than two hours in one place.
Early this morning Josef and I heard mass then we saw this lovely image of Santo Niño ready for procession along the streets near the church. Beautiful!
We dropped by the supermarket for a few minutes because I bought a small transistor radio which I could use outside when I am gardening. It has a three-way power supply, AC-DC, battery operated and there is also a rechargeable battery inside which recharges during the AC playing. It’s locally made but for its price, it’s great. I could now listen to my favorite FM station while trimming the grass and weeding. They play 60’s and 70’s music all day long during Sundays and those waltz tunes I seldom hear nowadays.
Have a lovely Sunday everyone 🙂
