Obando Fertility Rites
The Obando Fertility Rites〔"Sayaw Obando." (''Fertility Dance''), ''Obando, Bayang Pinagpala!'' (Obando, Blessed Town!), ''Pamahalaang Bayan ng Obando'' (Local Government of Obando), 2006/2007〕 are a dance ritual and Catholic festival celebrated every May in Obando, Bulacan, Philippines. Locals and pilgrims, sometimes dressed in traditional costume, dance and sing in the town's streets to honour and beseech Obando's three patron saints: ''San Pascual'' (Paschal Baylon), ''Santa Clara'' (Clare of Assisi) and ''Nuestra Señora de Salambáo'' (Our Lady of Salambao).
==Festivities==
The Rites and dancing are held over a triduum: 17 May for St. Paschal Baylon, 18 May for St. Clare, and 19 May for Our Lady of Salambáo. Each of the three days usually starts with a Mass said by the parish priest in the morning. A procession is held immediately after the service, consisting of the three saints' images followed by bands playing instruments made of bamboo or brass, and devotees who dance the ''fandango'' while singing the traditional hymn, ''Santa Clara Pinung-Pino'' (Saint Clare, Most Refined). The image of each saint leads the procession on his or her designated feast day.
The Rites, especially the fertility dance, are popular with pilgrims from other parts of the Philippines, most of whom supplicate the triad of saints for a child, spouse, or simply good fortune. The devotees joyously dance on the streets as a form of prayer, asking for the spirit of life to enter into the wombs of women.
The Philippine national hero, José Rizal, mentioned the Rites in Chapter 6 ("Captain Tiago") of his 1887 Spanish novel, ''Noli Me Tángere''.
