He has been serving as priest for 47 years, and he highlights the importance that Filipino Catholics place on celebrating Flores de Mayo every year. “As a member of the St. Michael the Archangel Parish Pastoral Council, we were tasked by our parish priest to head the celebration of the Flores de Mayo of the parish,” explained Mr. Eusebio to Vatican News. “Part of the program is the month-long flower offering for the image of Mary, the Immaculate Conception culminated by the Flores de Mayo.”
As the leader of the event, he also pointed out that Flores De Mayo originated from the influence of the Spaniards. “This religious practice is one of the legacies of the Spaniards to the Filipino culture as they tried to inculcate to the children the devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary,” he said. “Flores de Mayo is as important as giving a bouquet of flower to a dearly beloved woman expressing to her our love and filial devotion.
As part of the spiritual connections created, a program of Santacruzan, a procession during Flores De Mayo, has also become a bridge to transmit religious devotion to young people.
