Lady of the Abandoned

Dancers perform during the Feast of the Our Lady of the Abandoned (Nuestra Senora de los Desamparados) Saturday in Santa Ana, Manila. A ‘Misa Mayor’ (high Mass) was celebrated in celebration of the Feast of the Our Lady of the Abandoned, followed hours later by a grand procession in the afternoon. Feast rites were also held at the Diocesan Shrine of the Our Lady of the Abandoned in Marikina City, where pilgrims lined up to venerate the miraculous canonically crowned image of the Blessed Mother.
