The Filipino communities in different parishes in Macau celebrates the annual observance of Flores de Mayo—“Flowers of May”—a beloved Catholic tradition that honors the Blessed Virgin Mary with prayer, floral offerings, and festive devotion throughout the month of May.
The Church celebrates the solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord this Thursday. In some places however, such as Macau, this date is not a holiday, hence the celebration is moved to the following Sunday. This dogma of the Catholic faith teaches that, forty days after His Resurrection, the physical manifestation of Jesus on Earth ends: He ascends to heaven and seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty.
