Shrine of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage

Overview

It is known as the Shrine of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage (Nuestra Senora de la Paz y Buen Viaje). History says that this miraculous icon sailed back and forth between Manila and Acapulco during the years of the galleon trade. On several occasions, the Blessed Virgin was credited with saving the Spanish galleons from destruction by pirates and Dutch and British blockades. The safe arrivals of the galleons were attributed to the miraculous powers of the icon. It was on November 26, 1926 that the Blessed Virgin from Acapulco was dedicated by the Archbishop of Manila, Michael O' Doherty. The month of May is a month-long fiesta in Antipolo, when thousands of devotees come to pay homage to Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage.
