Flores de Mayo (Spanish for Flowers of May) is a Catholic and Aglipayan festival held in the Philippines in the month of May. Lasting for a month, it is held in honor of the Virgin Mary. The Santacruzan refers to the pageant on the last day of Flores de Mayo, held in honour of Helena (known as Reyna Elena) and Constantine finding the True Cross in Jerusalem. That it is held in May probably stems from the old, Galician date of Roodmas, which was abolished by Pope John XXIII in 1960 in favour of the present September 14 observance.
