St. Martin of Tours Parish - Bocaue, Bulacan
St. Martin of Tours Parish
The Franciscans built the church in 1578 that was replaced by Fr. Pedro De los Santos (OFM) with a stronger structure in 1606. Afterwards, the church underwent a series of rebuilding and improvements until it was destroyed by fire in 1868. It was rebuilt and razed again during the Philippine Revolution of 1898. The church has been rebuilt and restored several times since then.
A famous river festival held in honor of the miraculous Cross of Bocaue (KrusngWawa). During the fluvial procession, devotees ride in the "pagoda" and douse each other with water.
