Lipa City has two different religious holidays on the same day this Sep 12 (Monday).
First is the 13th edition of the National Pilgrimage to Lipa. This is a major annual event of Archdiocese of Lipa recognized by Vatican City and attended by Marian devotees from around the Philippines. While the other one which is coincident this year with National Pilgrimage is the Muslim worldwide celebration of "Eid al-Adha" or Feast of the Sacrifice.
Both celebrations have one purpose and that is to give appreciation for the blessings received and prayers for peace and prosperity.
