Behold the Flowers of May!

Among the beloved festivals in the Philippines is the Flores de Mayo, being part of Filipino tradition since the 1800s. A month devoted to the Virgin Mary, it is a tribute to the Mother of God, for giving rain when farmers ask for it, and the celebration expresses the farmers’ gratitude.

​

May is also the month that nightly holds a grand procession known as Santacruzan, commemorating the founding of the True Cross by Saint Helena, or Reyna Elena.

​

In celebration of May, LRI Design Plaza, in cooperation with Galerya Amalia, presents Flores de Mayo – a grand procession of artworks devoted to the theme of flowers. A universal favorite of artists down through the centuries, flowers are Mother Nature’s vessels for the most brilliant and vivid of colors. As the great French Impressionist painter Claude Monet exclaimed: I must have flowers, always, and always!

​

Welcome to Flores de Mayo!
