EXPERIENCE THE VIGAN HOLY WEEK


For those who have not yet been in VIGAN CITY especially during the HOLY WEEK, better visit Vigan now! Holy Week in Vigan is something different and unique. During Palm Sunday and Good Friday, centuries old, life-size statues mounted in carrozas depicting the LIFE AND PASSSION OF CHRIST can be seen during the procession. From Holy Monday to Easter Sunday, people come to Vigan to not only to pray but to also to feel and appreciate the charm of the old world.


Vigan has always been a favorite destination during the Holy Week (“semana santa”). This is not surprising because the City is the ecclesiastical center of the north. Spending the semana santa in Vigan gives one a chance to reflect and evaluate oneself. With the natural ambience of the old world, Vigan is a perfect place to have a respite of the busy schedule in the urban centers.
