Town Karakol, Noveleta
Happy people of Noveleta in their celebration of a holy procession of their Santa Cruz or their Holy Cross.
The Karakol is a traditional parade in some towns in Cavite wherein Catholics do a procession of the Santa Crus or the Holy Cross and a specific Karakol music is being danced by the faithful. This is traced back to the Spanish Era wherein people of Cavite, mostly farmers, perform this ritual to ask for God's grace and mercy through the form of rain so that the crops will live through the summer season.
Usually, the karakol is performed around the town proper days before the Town Fiesta. In Noveleta, the karakol should have been performed in this week in preparation to their town fiesta which is happening this Sunday, May 3rd.
As per our reader, this is Mr. Jesus Didal, one of the caretakers of the cross
