Wellington South Filipino Community Pastoral Areas invite you to the 2016 Mayflower Festival – Flores de Mayo and Santacruzan.

“Santacruzan is a colourful pageant parade or procession held on the last day of Flores de Mayo (last day of May) – considered as the culmination of the Flores de Mayo festival. It is a Filipino tradition which is held to commemorate the finding of the true cross of Christ in Jerusalem by St. Helena of Constantinople (Reyna Helena – mother of Constantine the Great).”
