Holiday and Festival celebration traditions in the Philippines

90% of the population of the country is Christian, the vast majority being Roman Catholic. So many of the annual festivals are related to important events on the religious calendar. Several celebrations have their roots in pagan times, with costumes and rituals that have been modified over time to reflect more recent Christian traditions. Some of them are very colorful celebrations, which are really worth to visit for tourists.
