I am very fortunate to be living stone's throw from the Santo Domingo Church where the image of centuries old ivory image of Virgen La Naval de Manila is currently enshrined. Not only that the Virgen known for Her powerful intercessions but recognized as one of the Philippines Cultural Treasure for the antiquity and cultural relevance. The Virgen celebrates Her feast every second Sunday of October. One of the most anticipated event aside from the grand procession is the enthronement rites and the beso manto. This is the only time the Virgen is brought our from her altar and an opportunity to be seen up close. Here are some photos from the enthronement rites and beso manto. |
