The first episode explores two icons intertwined with the ways we worship and survive: the “Nuestro Señor Cristo Nazareno,” who embodies our sufferings, our patience and endurance, and the “Santo Niño,” who embodies our optimism, our joy, our child-like exuberance.

The tradition of pain and redemption of Lent undertaken by faithful Filipino Christians will show the performative aspects of the rituals within Cuaresma - the chanting, singing, acting and theatrics that serve as a backdrop for folk art and artistry.

Ani looks at the harvest rituals in different parts of Luzon as it celebrates our agricultural heritage rooted on respect for the environment.

We travel to Marawi in time for the sacred celebration Eid’l Fitr in the midst of post-war restoration. Dayaw explore Marano culture rooted in the historic city as the people of Marawi rebuild their lives.

We end season five with a look at an icon who holds a very special place in the heart of Catholic Filipinos. In her, we see Mother, Mediatrix, a source of succor and consolation. The Virgin Mary becomes a personal symbol of identity, a reminder of the old hometown, the province, the communities we return to during her fiestas.
