Held every first Sunday of December, the four centuries - old celebration of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception has evolved into a grand display of various images of the Virgin Mary.
Since Pope Paul V declared the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary no longer open to question, lavish celebrations were made in her honor.
The tradition ceased in 1945 until it was revived in 1954, when President Ramon Magsaysay led the first Marian procession assembling some 60 images of the Blessed Virgin. The event established the standards for today's celebrations, which are led by IA and Cofradia de la Inmaculada Concepcion.
