Viva Pit Senyor!

Today is the Kahimunan festival. It's an event in Butuan where we celebrate the feast of Sto. Nino usually by dancing in the streets, listening mass at Sto. Nino Diocesan Shrine, yelling "Pit Senyor!"

 There are a lot of activities leading to the culmination of Kahimunan festival like a fluvial parade in Agusan River, different kinds of parades and other activities.

Today was the first time I've ever experienced Kahimunan. Sad to say because it was amazing. It was fun. Full of colorful whirling dancers chanting their chants. 

I wanted to complain about the rain,  the mud, and my unpreparedness but I saw how the young un's dancing enthusiastically barefoot in the concrete, mud, snow, and sleet and I know I'm a wimp if I do. So I'm not writing about my woes and just post photos from my second ever photography contest! Thank you Fotografia Inc., for hosting this year's awesome bonding moments for photographers.
