On October 28th, the image of Nuestra Señora del Santissimo Rosario de Manaoag, better known as the Virgin of Manaoag, arrived in Binagbag, Angat, Bulacan in connection with the commemoration of the Month of the Holy Rosary. Upon the arrival of the Virgin of Manaoag, she was greeted by devotees and students from Binagbag National High School, waving their flaglets. This was followed by a welcoming ritual at the Parish of Santa Rita de Cascia led by Father Joshua Panganiban.
A rosary and novena were held around 4 p.m., followed by a mass presided over by Fr. Noriel Salvador, a Religious Priest from Notre Dame de Vie Institute. After the mass, there was the traditional "Besa Manto," a custom that is usually performed during festivals. The word "Besa" comes from the Spanish word "besar," meaning "kiss," and "Manto," meaning "cloak." In this ceremony, devotees kiss or touch the mantle of the Virgin as a request for help, healing, or grace in various aspects of their lives.
On October 31st, the last day of the stay of the Blessed Virgin of Manaoag, a procession of Dominican Saints was performed which included the images of San Lorenzo Ruiz, San Francisco de Capillas, Sto. Domingo de Guzman, San Jose, and Nuestra Señora del Santissimo Rosario de Manaoag.
Viva La Virgen!
