==Fiestas and Traditions of Mercedes, Zamboanga City== | ==Fiestas and Traditions of Mercedes, Zamboanga City== | ||
I would like to share something about some of my good memories in one of the oldest barangays in the city, something that I am truly proud of, My maternal side is deeply rooted in Mercedes. The Carpio's have been residing in this for the past century, and as one of the descendants, I think it is my responsibility to share with you my fondest memories of this place. | |||
Aside from the yearly celebration of the barangay fiesta, which is celebrated every September 24 in honor of Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes (Our Lady of Ransom), another tradition that is being done by almost all the Mercedeños is the celebration of Christ's Death and Passion, literally known as the Santo Entierro, images depicting Christ's passion and death and owned by the prominent and old families of Mercedes, are paraded along the streets of the old Calle Real in observance of the Holy Week. Some of these images are family heirlooms and handed down from one generation to the other. | |||
