San Jose Church, the birthplace of Dinagyang
Iloilo City’s Dinagyang has its early beginnings in 1968, when a replica of the image of Sr. Santo Niño was brought from Cebu City to the San Jose Parish Church by Fr. Suplicio Ebderes, OSA with a delegation of Cofradia del Sto. Niño,Cebu members. The image was brought to San Jose Parish Church and enshrined there up to this time, where a novena in His honor is held every Friday.
The first parish feast of Señor Santo Niño was celebrated in 1969, a year after his arrival in Iloilo City. The culmination of the nine-day novena was the Fluvial Procession. In the early morning light of dawn, the revered Santo Niño image is borne on a decorative banca in a fluvial procession, starting from the mouth of the Iloilo River at Fort San Pedro, winding all the way to the Iloilo Provincial Capitol which stands on the bank of the Iloilo River.
