What is in the picture? What festival is this? To whom do they
offer this festival?

Read the short paragraph about the PASAKA Festival. Answer the
questions after it.

Pasaka Festival started in 1991 in Tanauan Leyte. The word

“Pasaka” means “assumption” which refers to the Virgin Mary as
she was assumed into heaven. The festival which runs from August
1 through 15, is seen as an opportunity to showcase the rich
cultural heritage of Tanauan. It is a means of paying homage and
thanksgiving to the town’s patroness, Our Lady of the Assumption.
It begins with a nightly cultural presentation being held from
August 1 through 14 at the Tanauan Public Plaza, which showcases
the best talents, culture, and tradition of the municipality
participated in by various schools, the local government unit, and
the non-government organizations of Tanauan. In the afternoon of
August 14, the traditional Pasaka Festival Competition is held
which features a colorful presentation of dance drama and street
dancing that depicts a community paying homage to the Blessed
Virgin as she is assumed into heaven. The competition is grouped
into three categories: participated in by high school students, the
 Junior category composed of elementary pupils and the Merry
Makers. The festival culminates on August 15, the Feast of the
town Patroness, Our Lady of the Assumption, and a Holy Mass is
celebrated at the Assumption of Our Lady Parish. It is also
observed as Tanauan Day which is a local holiday.
