TAONG PUTIK FESTIVAL: THE MUD-COVERED DEVOTEES OF THE PHILIPPINES.

Devotees take part in the ‘Taong Putik’ or mud people festival in the town of Bibiclat, Aliaga, Nueva Ecija, Philippines. Held annually on the 24th June the century old religious festival honours the belief in the Christian Saint, John The Baptist. Proceedings start as early as 4:00 am in the morning where men and women, young and old alike, gather in nearby rice fields.They cover their faces and bodies in mud along with the wearing of cloaks made from banana leaves and vines in simulation of John the Baptist's appearance when he baptised Jesus Christ. From there they proceed barefoot, through the streets of Bibiclat to the town church. On reaching the church candles are lit, prayers offered with a theatrical play being performed depicting the life & happenings of the Saint.
