The Obando Fertility Festival is a sacred tradition held in Bulacan, Philippines. From May 17-19, the centuries-old blend of Catholic and animist practice is celebrated by devotees around the country in the hopes of being blessed with a child. The three-day event honors St. Paschal Baylon, St. Clare of Assisi, and Our Lady of Salambáo.

Join us as we delve into the true stories and testimonies from believers and devotees.
