Peñafrancia Festival 2011




Penafrancia Festival 2011     

       A long festive celebration in honor of Our Lady of Penafrancia, the Patroness of Bicol, endearingly addressed by Bicolanos as "Ina" (mother).





          The celebration reaches its high point with the much-anticipated fluvial procession at Naga River, transporting back the image of "Ina" carried in a pagoda accompanied by a battalion of Bicolano faithful men going back to the Basilica Minore, nine days after the traditional translacion procession last September 10 that brought the religious icons to the centuries-old Naga Metropolitan Cathedral in Naga City.
