TACLOBAN CITY – Graceful queens with their escorts, religious artifacts, and decorated arches once again graced the streets of Tacloban City during a procession honoring the Blessed Virgin Mary despite the bad weather.
 
On Monday, May 30, 2022, devotees of the Blessed Virgin in the Grand Santacruzan and five contingents barangay celebrated the religious event, which culminated the month-long Flores de Mayo celebration in the City.


According to the City Tourism Operations Office, five barangay contingents took part in the event, which was postponed for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year's Grand Santacruzan included the barangays of 43-B Quarry, 99 Diit, 85 San Jose, 65 Paseo de Legaspi, and 39 Calvary Hill.

Santacruzan is a prominent religious event held in many Philippine villages and cities to culminate the month-long Flores de Mayo celebration. It refers to a flower procession held in May to commemorate the fabled event in which Queen Helena, Constantine the Great's mother, searched for the Holy Cross on which Jesus was crucified. —itacloban
