After the con – celebrated mass it became a tradition in Taal organized by Mr. Michael Villano a parade of St. Martin of Tours “The Cavalier” followed by horses, starting at the Taal Social Plaza going to the church down going to the National road for the Horse Race.
At 4:30 PM, another con – celebrated Mass is being done followed by the Grand Procession of The Patron St. of Taal St. Martin of Tours. A procession (French procession via Middle English, derived from Latin, processio, from procedere, to go forth, advance, proceed) is an organized body of people walking in a formal or ceremonial manner. It is also a way of Taalenos showing their faith and devotion for their patron saint, it is also their way of thanking St. Martin of Tours for the blessings and everything.
