Touching devotion To Our lady

I noticed this article from earlier this month, showing very Devotion to Our Lady in the Philippines, it is amazing how many places she is touching people.

That evening, lines of people waiting patiently along the river bank for the Virgin’s casco (boat) stretched to as far away as Lemery.


Delightful picture

It is called the hila (pull) because the women pull the lights that originate from the Virgin’s carossa.

Santa Lucia well


The miraculous water from the Santa Lucia well behind the church in Labac is helping a lot of people get well. The image of the Virgin of Caysasay was reflected in the water hundreds of years ago.

Two women were collecting water from the well when they saw the face of the Virgin. When they looked up, they saw the Virgin on a sampaga tree with a kingfisher or casay-casay flying above her.
