The Faces of Morions: 2012 Moriones Festival in Marinduque

This was my first time to witness the colorful festival of this year Moriones Festival 2012,the biggest attraction of the Island.For the Morions, their act of penance, thanksgiving or self-cleansing means enduring the hot costumes, hunger and thirst during their long walk around town of Boac.Did you know that the Morion means mask, which is part of the medieval Roman centurion’s helmet. Moriones are the masked penitents who take part in the reenactment of the legend of Longinus, and Passion of the Christ.
