Marinduque has a two old church, one in Boac and one in Sta. Cruz. Some say this town was called Sta. Cruz in Marinduque because of the Holy Cross brought by Magellan in Cebu. Others believe the legend that Sta. Cruz got its name from an apparition of a cross that guided the early missionaries to a safe landing place during a thunderstorm on one of their visits in the area where they erected a wooden cross on the mountain where Sta. Cruz Church now stands. A famous Marinduque pasalubong - uraro cookies are made from arrowroot, a tuber. The municipality of Sta. Cruz, known as the “Seafood Capital of Marinduque,” celebrated its annual Seafoods Fiesta from May 1 to May 3 as thanksgiving for the abundance of its aquatic resources. It is the only fiesta in the province which lasts for three days.
