Pueblo Amante de Maria: The Filipinos' Love for Mary
The Marian month of May is here again and Filipinos will be honoring in so
many ways—with flowers and songs, processions and pilgrimages—a dear
mother they affectionately call, “Mama Mary.”
Pueblo Amante de Maria: The Fiipinos’ Love for Mary, a coffee table book
launched recently, features 18 Marian shrines in the Philippines. It could
serve as a Marian pilgrim’s guide or historical backgrounder. But it also offers
theological reflections so that devotees would understand more deeply the
cultural and spiritual context of the Marian devotion that Filipino Catholics
are known for.
To quote Jesuit theologian and mariologist Fr. Catalino Arevalo: “To

understand Filipino Catholics, one must understand their love for Mary.”
This love takes the form of unique and showy displays of affection not seen
even in countries where some of the Marian devotions originated. Consider
the Santacruzan. Filipinos have homegrown Marian devotions with homespun
titles of the Filipinos’ own making.
Whence sprung this unabashed affection? “Mama Mary,” an affectionate

address not quite two decades old, is distinctly Filipino and suggests intimacy
and devotion.
“Mama Mary” will not replace her other Spanish, English and Filipino names
—Nuestra Señora, Our Lady, Ina and Iloy, among them, but “Mama Mary” is
here to stay and is often heard among OFWs (overseas Filipino workers) and
immigrants all over the world.
Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio G. Cardinal Tagle, in his foreword, explains
the book’s title thus: “We are a people, a nation in love with the Blessed
Virgin Mary because she loves us . . . I know this because I have experienced
it in my family, my hometown, in my life and in my ministry.
“We love Mary because she is the Spirit-filled Mother given to us by Jesus
before he breathed his last. A new family was born at the foot of Jesus’ cross…
Mary and Jesus’ disciples are at the core of that spiritual family of God.”
Writes Fr. Arevalo: “Bayang sumisinta kay Maria,” “pueblo amante de Maria”—in

the original Spanish of Mr. Emeterio Barcelon’s and Fr. Norberto Carceller’s
hymn for the International Eucharistic Congress in Manila (1937)–speaks of
Filipinos as ‘a people in love with Mary.’”
“‘Mama Mary,’ an affectionate address not quite two decades

old, is distinctly Filipino and suggests intimacy and devotion.”
The book includes other theological essays by Bishop Teodoro Bacani, the late
Jaime Cardinal Sin, Dr. Josefina M. Manabat and Arevalo (editorial
consultant). It also lists some 800 parishes that bear Marian titles.
Here are the featured Marian shrines (by no means complete) and excerpts
from some of the writers’ pieces:
Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception (Diocese of Cubao)

“Our cathedral in Cubao is just one of the many churches placed under her
patronage with this title... In the midst of the trials and tribulations of our
world, the mystery of the Immaculate Conception is a source of light, of home
and consolation.” By Bishop Honesto F. Ongtioco

Virgen Coronada de Filipinas - the Canonically

Crowned Marian images in the Philippines
- May 28, 2017
The re-enactment of the Canonical Coronation of Nuestra Señora del Sanstisimo Rosario - La Naval de Manila
during the Centenary celebration of the said event
"All Generations will call me blessed", these are the prophetic words that Our Lady
sang in her Magnificat when she visited her cousin St. Elizabeth. She expressed
such words, not for vanity sake, but because she was chosen by the Lord as the
Mother of the Son of God, the King of Kings, that she humbly accepted, along
with the sufferings she will undertake for our sake. Her lifetime commitment to
God, by being the Mother of the Redeemer, the King of Kings, merited her the
glorious title as the Queen of Heaven and Earth.
The Canonical Coronation of the
Virgin of La Naval de Manila in 1907. The First ever
in the Philippines and in Asia
The faithful have recognized the queenly dignity of the Blessed Virgin Mary as the
Mother of "The King of Kings and Lord of Lords"; the Early Church Fathers, the
Doctors of the Church, Popes have given authoritative expression to the truth and
the crowning testimony to this common belief is to be found clearly expressed in
the wonders of art and in the profound teaching of the liturgy. In their turn,
theologians have shown the fitting nature of the title "Queen" as applied to the
Mother of God, since she was so closely associated with the redemptive work of
her Son and is the Mediatrix of all graces. This led to the devotional practice of
Crowning Marian images across the world to honor her Queenship.
The Church for centuries honors the Blessed Virgin Mary in different ways, one of
which is granting a Canonical Corontion to a miraculous Marian image (sometimes
Images of the Child Jesus and St. Joseph) that are venerated around the world. A
Canonical Coronation is an act of the Pope, duly expressed in thru a Papal Bull or a
Papal Decree, wherein the Church recognizes the cultus of a Marian Image under a
specific title being venerated in a certain locality by crowing the image "in the
name and in the authority of the Pope". This act, along with the offering of the
Golden Rose, is considered as the highest honor given to miraculous Marian
images around the world.
The Practice of Crowning of Images
The earliest custom of crowning images dates back to the Post Tridentine era and
during the heat of the Counter Reformation when Fray Girolamo Paolucci di Forli
(born 1552 - died 1620) a Capuchin
priest who initiated started the practice of crowning images of the Blessed Virgin
Mary after his homilies wherever he went as part of his preaching. The legacy of
Fr. Paolucci influenced the Marquis of Piacenza and Count of Borgonovo,
Alessandro Sforza Cesarini that in his last will and testament dated on July 3,
1636, requesting a provision in which a large sum of money was to be invested to
fund crowns of precious metals for the coronation of the most celebrated Marian
images in the world that later adopted by the Vatican Chapter.
The Canonical Coronation of Nuestra Señora de Candelaria de Jaro

performed by Pope John Paul II which makes the only
Canonical Coronation in the Philippines done by the Pope.
The practice and public declaration of coronation became widely popular in the
Papal states prior to the 19th century as growing to approximately 300 coronation
rites. Prior to 1989, papal bulls concerning the authorization of Canonical
Coronations were handwritten on parchment. After 1989, the Congregation for
Divine Worship
and the Discipline of the Sacraments began issuing the specific recognition to
crown a religious image, spelling out its approved devotional title and authorizing
Papal legate.
The requisites for a Canonical Coronation are the image's antiquity, the devotion
around it and its intensity lasting through time and the miracles that were duly
recorded. The aforementioned documents, along with the petition letters signed by
eminent ecclesiastical persons and the devotees are submitted to the significant
ecclesiastical authorities (e.g. Bishops, Cardinals etc.) for recommendation and to
be submitted to the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the
Sacraments to study the documents, give further recommendations and the
approval of the request that will lead to the issuance of the Papal Bull or Decree to
grant the Canonical Coronation of a Marian, Christological or Josephine image.
The crown that will be used should be fashioned out of precious materials
(authentic gold, silver, precious stones, etc) that will symbolize the singular dignity
of the Blessed Virgin.
In the Philippines, out of hundreds of Marian images venerated in the country, only
forty Marian images that were granted such honor of Canonical Coronation in
recognition of the miracles and the devotion that surrounds a particular Marian
image. These images who received such recognition were called "Coronadas" and
oftentimes, this distinction is added to their titles. The following are the
Canonically Crowned Marian images in the country sequenced according to the
year of Canonical Coronation.
Nuestra Señora del Santisimo Rosario
- La Naval de Manila
Nuestra Senora del Santisimo Rosario - La Naval de Manila

Provenance:National Shrine of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary - Sto. Domingo
Church, Quezon City
Coronation Date; October 5, 1907
Pontificate: Pope St. Pius X
The famed miraculous image of Our Lady of the Rosary was carved sometime in
1593 by a pagan Chinese artisan upon the request of Governor General Luis Perez
Dasmariñas, under the direction of a Spanish captain turned priest, Don Hernando
delos Rios Coronel. The image was later donated to the Dominicans and enshrined
in the Gospel side of the altar. The Virgin of La Naval gained much popularity due
to the miracles that were reported through her intercession. The most famous of her
miracles is the victory of the Five Naval Battles of 1646 when the Dutch invaders
failed to to conquer Manila due to defense of brave Spanish and Filipino forces
with two old ill-equipped Spanish galleons. The Spanish-Filipino forces sought the
aid of the Virgin of the Rosary and made a vow to walk in barefoot to her shrine if
victory will be theirs. The miraculous victories were accepted and proclaimed by
the Catholic hierarchy of Manila and "La Naval" was added to her title to
commemorate this victory of the nation. She was Canonically Crowned on October
5, 1907 in Paseo de Magallanes in Intramuros, Manila in the presence of thousands
of people who flocked to Intramuros to witness the coronation of the "La Gran
Señora de Filipinas". The Coronation was granted by Pope St. Pius X and granted
plenary indulgence to those who will venerate the Virgin of La Naval. It is said
that the Pontiff himself wrote the Bull of Canonical Coronation. The Coronation of
the Virgin of La Naval was the first Canonical Coronation in the Philippines.

Coronation Date; September 20, 1924
Pontificate: Pope Pius XI
The venerated image of Nuestra Señora de Peñafrancia de Naga is one of the most
well known and beloved image of the whole Bicolandia. The devotion began

devotee of the the Virgin of Peña de Francia of Salamanca, Spain. The Image was
based from the painting of the Our Lady of Peñafrancia that is venerated in Paco,
Manila and the image was carved in 1710. Numerous miracles were attributed to
the Ina of the Bicolanos up to the present. Most remarkably of them was the end of
a cholera outbreak that killed almost the entire region in 1882. It was this miracle
that Pope Leo XIII proclaimed the Virgin of Penafrancia as the Patroness of the
Dicoese of Nueva Caceres. The Ina of Bicolandia received the Canonical
Coronation on September 20, 1924 at the plaza of Naga Cathedral.

the Lady calls". The statue of the Virgin of Manaoag was brought by Fr. Juan de
San Jacinto, a Dominican friar, from Mexico. Numerous miracles were reported
over the centuries up to the present that she received her Canonical Crown on April
21, 1926 and decades later her shrine became a Minor Basilica on February 17,
2015.

Coronation Date; November 28, 1926
This image of the Immaculate Conception was brought by Governor General Juan
de Tabora on from Mexico in 1626 and it was first enshrined in Intramuros before
it was moved to Rizal Province. The Jesuits were alarmed when the news of the
Virgin's wanderings that led them to a Tipolo tree where she rested that it was
taken as a sign that she wanted to be venerated in that area. A Church was
immediately built and later be known for her miracles, especially on accompanying
several galleons for safety voyages. It was through these miracles that she was
given the title "Nuestra
Señora de la Paz y Buen Viaje" (Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage). The
Virgin of Antipolo was Canonically Crowned on November 28, 1926 that was held
in Luneta Park in Manila led by Archbishop Michael O'Doherty.

Provenance: Minor Basilica of Our Lady of Our Lady of the Visitation, Piat,
Cagayan
Coronation Date; June 20, 1954
Pontificate: Pope Pius XII
The image of Our Lady of Piat was an image of Our Lady of the Rosary made in
Goa, India out of paper mache that is intended for the missions in Macao. The
image was brought to the Philippines in 1604. It was first placed in the old Santo
Domingo Church in Intramuros until she was transferred to her current shrine in
Cagayan Valley. The Virgin of Piat earned the title "Visitacion" due to the stories
of her "nocturnal visitations" to her devotees over the centuries. Numerous
miracles were attributed to her intercession, notably the pacification of warring
tribes that led to peace in Cagayan Valley. The Queen of Cagayan Valley was
Canonically Crowned at the Plaza of Tugegarao on June 20, 1954, at the
conclusion of the Diocesan Marian Congress conducted by the then Papal Nuncio,
Archbishop Egidio Vagnozzi.
Nuestra Señora de la Regla de Cebu

brought by Father Francisco Avalle, an Augustinian priests, in 1735 in a parish in
Opon (now Lapu-Lapu City), Cebu. The statue was commissioned years later to
preserve the original painting from wear. Numerous miracles of healing were
reported through her intercession and also noted for saving Cebu for pestilence that
threatened their livelihood and also the ravages of the Second World War. The
Virgin of the Rule was Canonically Crowned on November 27, 1954 as a fitting
conclusion to the First Archdiocesan Marian Congress that opened days before the
Coronation Rites.
Nuestra Señora de Caysasay
Nuestra Señora de la Inmaculada Concepcion de Caysasay

Provenance: Shrine of Our Lady of Caysasay, Labac, Taal, Batangas

top of a tree near a well surrounded by Casaycasay birds by two women who was
doing their menial tasks. A Visita was later built in the site near the well and
numerous miracles were reported over the centuries. It is said that the Virgin of
Caysasay appeared to two different women on two separate occasions that it is
considered as the first reported Marian apparitions in the Philippines. The Queen of

From February 11 to July 16, 1858, at the Grotto of Massabielle, the Virgin
showed herself 18 times to Bernadette Soubirous. Under the title "the Immaculate
Conception," she called for penance and prayer for the conversion of sinners. The
devotion to Our Lady of Lourdes in the country began when Manuel Flores carved
an image of her for the Capuchin Church in 1892. Miracles were reported through
the intercession of the Virgin of Lourdes, one of them is the protection of her
shrine in Intramuros that the altar image was carved by the same artist two years
later. When the Lourdes Church was destroyed, the altar image was taken away
and was first kept in the sacristy of San Agustin Church, then later at the
University of Santo Tomas and finally to her new home in Retiro, Quezon City. In

Niño de Cebu was one of the four images of the Child Jesus to receive such honor
together with Santo Bambino di Aracoeli of Rome and Infant of Arenzano, both
in Italy, and the world famous Infant of Prague of Czech Republic.

Santo Niño de Cebu

Provenance: Minor Basilica of Santo Niño de Cebu, Cebu
Coronation date: April 28, 1965
The first religious image in the Philippines was brought by Ferdinand Magellan
was given to Humamay, who was later baptized as Reina Juana as a gift along with
the images of the Ecce Homo and Virgen Delos Remedios. It is reported that Reina
Juana was in tears upon receiving the image. Magellan died on 27 April 1521 in
the Battle of Mactan. Legends say that after initial efforts by the natives to destroy
it, the image was venerated as one of their pagan deities. 44 years later, the
Spaniards returned headed by Miguel López de Legazpi to conquer the islands and
on April 28, 1565, Juan Camus, one of Legazpi's soldiers, found the image of the
Holy Child in a pina box located in one of the huts in the area and a solemn
procession took place and the site of the hut is now the location of the Minor
Basilica of Santo Nino de Cebu. Many historians consider the facial structure of
the statue made from Flanders, Belgium, where Infant Jesus of Prague statues were
also common. Miracles were reported through the Holy Child of Cebu that the
devotion was so popular that the devotion was carried over to Manila and other
parts of the Philippines. The image was Canonically Crowned on April 28, 1965 on
the occasion of the 400th Anniversary of the Kaplag (Rediscovery of the image)
and the Quadricentennial of the Christianization in the Philippines on the strength
of the Papal Bull "Cunabula Religionis".
We all know that the Blessed Virgin Mary was already crowned by the Most Holy
Trinity as the Queen of Heaven and Earth, yet we crown her on earth because we
recognize her reign as Queen and Christ as King. Some might dismiss this practice
of crowning her images as a "way to show off" or any other things, but if we are
looking closely to the origins of this pious act of the Church, it is in fact an act of
honoring God, through crowning His loving Son and its Mother, all the the best
and the most precious in the world for He deserved the our best and the highest
honors our humanity can give. It is also an interesting fact that this act also shows a
penitential side for while we give the best, we also in a way shun the vanities of the
world and we boldly proclaim the Supremacy of Our Lord and Our Lady in these
trying times in our modern life. Whenever we see the Blessed Virgin being
crowned, it is a reminder for all of us how might our God is and we will share that
crowning glory in eternal life.
Pope Pius XII in his encyclical appropriately titled Ad Caeli Reginam (to the
Queen of Heaven), just four years after he defined the Dogma of the Assumption
of the Blessed Virgin into heaven in 1954, he wrote this passage that would also
help us to reflect on the reign of Mary as Queen:
“From the earliest ages of the Catholic Church a Christian people, whether in
time of triumph or more especially in time of crisis, has addressed prayers of
petition and hymns of praise and veneration to the Queen of Heaven. And never
has that hope wavered which they placed in the Mother of the Divine King, Jesus
Christ; nor has that faith ever failed by which we are taught that Mary, the Virgin
Mother of God, reigns with a mother's solicitude over the entire world, just as she
is crowned in heavenly blessedness with the glory of a Queen.”
Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, Hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope!
