I document this annual event which illustrates the faith and veneration of
the people of this town which is an influence of the long years of Spanish
colonization in the Philippines.

Kuraldal is a ritual dance and veneration of a bronze crucifix by the
people of San Juan which they believe, by touching the cross will give
them a blessed and bountiful life all year round.
