PHOTO
OF THE WEEK
Peñafrancia in Milan
They celebrate the
Peñafrancia festival even in Italy. The photo was taken Sept. 25 at the S.
Gaetano Church on a street in Milan. Long-time residents of Naga City,
Albay (449 kms. south of Manila) believe that an official from Peñafrancia,
Spain settled in Cavite, a province south of Manila, in 1712. His daughter
got sick one day and the family prayed for her recovery to the Madonna of
Peñafrancia, of which they had a picture. When the daughter recovered, the
father promised to build a chapel for her in Manila but since he was then
in detention in Nueva Caceres (now Naga City), he built the chapel there
instead. The Peñafrancia festival is celebrated every third Sunday of the
month, and is identified with Naga City but Bicolanos observe it wherever
they are like Italy.
