Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage
Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage (Latin: Nostra Domina de Pacis et Bonam Navigationem), also known as Our Lady of Antipolo, is a Roman Catholic Marian title of the Blessed Virgin Mary associated with a wooden image that is venerated in the Philippines. This Black Madonna is enshrined in Antipolo Cathedral, east of Metro Manila. The image was brought to the country by Governor-General Juan Niño de Tabora from Mexico via the Galleon ship El Almirante in 1626. His safe voyage across the Pacific Ocean was attributed to the image, which was given the title of "Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage". It was substantiated later by six other successful voyages of the Manila-Acapulco Galleons with the image aboard as its patroness. Pope Pius XI issued a Pontifical decree to crown the image in 1925. The statue is one of the most celebrated Marian images on the Philippines, having been mentioned by nationalist José Rizal in his writings. From May to July each year, the image attracts millions of pilgrims...
