Friday The 13th Marian Procession Cebu City, Philippines

The Marian Procession
was carried out
on October 13, 2017
in Cebu City, Philippines.

Thousands of people
mostly Marian Devotees
joined the procession
in Cebu City, Philippines
that started around 9:00 PM 
of October 13, 2017,
a Friday The 13th.
It started at the Capitol grounds
then proceeded to Osmeña Blvd.
then it all ended
at the Basilica Minore Del Santo Niño.
As early 7:00 PM,
huge crowds had already gathered
even when the weather
was anticipated to be rainy.
Authorities shut down Osmeña Blvd.
to allow the event 
to proceed without disruption.
Floats of the Blessed Virgin Mary
were paraded with flowers and lights
and even with smoke effects.

This is one of the many floats of the Blessed Virgin Mary paraded along the route.

And all along the route,
the 4 Mysteries Of The Rosary,
The Joyful, The Sorrowful,
The Glorious and the Luminous
were recited.
And as the procession 
was halfway through,
some heavy rains
came and soaked everyone
who were not prepared enough
to take umbrella or raincoats 
with them
and scrambled to take shelter
in the buildings and structures
on both sides of the boulevard.
The Marian Procession 
was a glorious success
with thousands of people
walked the stretch
​from Capitol to the Basilica.
And a lot of us
went home
almost or around midnight already
since transportation
like jeepneys and taxis were hard
considering the volume of passengers.
