I had a previous post regarding the Higantes of Taytay. This is an additional reference to that post. The Sto Nino chapel has also been a part of our youth where families' usually goes to during the early days of January specifically on January 1. The chapel has also an interesting history and colorful disagreements with the local parish. During that time, there were shortcut trails that you can use to go directly to Kay Bural.

Fiesta 1983, makikita sa larawan ang mag anak na higante na pinagawa at indonar ni Gg. Magdalena Calderon (inang Nena) na taga baustista st. Sa barrio san juan, pinagawa ang mga ulo ng higantes sa bayan ng Paete, laguna taong 1950's, kasama ang mag anak na higante sa paseo ng umaga na umiikot sa taytay kasama ang mga banda ng mosiko at drum and bugle.

tuwing umaga ng enero 1 ang mag anak na higante at mosiko ang gumigising sa mga taga taytay na waring nangungumbida para umakyat sa tanawan.

Ctto: Sto. Niño chapel

Wala pong ulat o pananaliksik na nagpapatunay na ang higante ay unang lumabas sa taytay..
