Thousands of Catholic faithfuls on Sunday along Quezon Avenue and select routes in Quezon City join the annual procession of the image of ‘Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary- La Naval de Manila,’ a venerated title of the Blessed Virgin Mary associated with the same image in the Philippines. Pope Pius X granted the image a canonical coronation on Oct. 5, 1907. The Philippine government in 2009 designated the icon and its shrine as a National Cultural Treasure, making it one of the country’s cultural properties.
