RE: Banka | Life & Photography
Thanks @traciyork. Very interesting! The Philippines having been colonized by Spain for 300years is still at present pre-dominantly Catholic, hence the fiesta every now and then.
Makes sense - Gloucester has a high population of Catholics as well. In fact my father (who was an altar boy for Saint Peter's church) even considered entering the priesthood for a time. While a number of the churches in town have now closed, Fiesta is still going strong every year. 😊
