6/25/2003: Mud person festival



Yesterday was June 24 and that means a bunch of Filipinos were celebrating the feast day of John the Baptist like good Catholics everywhere.

But in one Filipino village, there has come about a tradition of covering one's self with mud and branches and stuff. Over time this has been noticed by tourists and so it has come to be the "Taong Putik Festival" -- taong putik meaning "mud person".



Men, women and children all cover themselves in mud, dried banana leaves and vines, and then they go pray, and then they have a parade down the main street.

Good times!

Dirty Catholics.

Great for atoning, refreshing, and minimizing large pores.

Yuck

definitely not my cup of tea. I'd rather a glass of champagne at the beauticians, thank you very much.

If you don't want to get dirty, you're not allowed to have an elephant, Leah.

elephant mud

Hey Bruce, a few years back now, I went to Thailand and spent the day riding, cleaning, playing, kissing etc etc the baby elephants. I had mud from heat to toe, but it was the best time I have ever had. I even went out for a late lunch after that in the same clothes I was in (mud and all) I really didn't want to change. I would have slept out in the dark to be with them all. Spiders and all.

That's fun mud. Can I have my elephant now?

Aren't these the guys from Apocalypse Now? You know, from the end of the movie, with Kurtz?

They look like an elite group of Unarmed Special Forces. Except that guy in the lower picture. He looks too out of shape. Maybe he's a General.

This is why I'm a Pagan...Christian faiths overlook the spiritual aspect of nude mud baptismal celebrations...

Wow! That would make me a real dirty old man.
