The first-ever ‘Traslacion’ in the City of Iloilo will be held on January 23, 2025 in line with Dinagyang Festival 2025.
According to Rev. Fr. Nelson Zerda, parish priest of San Jose Parish Placer, Iloilo City during the Dinagyang press conference on January 20, 2025, that the ‘Traslacion’ precedes the fluvial parade set on January 24, 2025.
The ‘Traslacion’ of the Holy Family will start at the San Jose Parish Church after the Holy Mass at 5:30 a.m. and will proceed to a church in Lapuz District where the image of the Señor Santo Niño will be taken to his mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and will stay for the scheduled fluvial parade.
At about 1 p.m. on January 24, 2025, the image of the Santo Niño will be taken to the PPA Bacolod Wharf where the fluvial parade will start.
A foot procession will follow immediately toward the Iloilo Freedom Grandstand.
'Traslacion' in Spanish means "moving of something from one place to another."
