Where When How

a creative exercise

the 100 year old image

This is an image of Virgin Mary and the Child Jesus. I chanced upon this more than a 100-year old image in a small chaplet in Cavite. This statue is said to have originated from Tondo after an old lady prayed to it to win the lottery. In return, she promised to construct a chapel. The following week, the old lady won the lottery. She had a chapel constructed in Cavite and made image as the chapel’s centerpiece. During the war, the chapel was destroyed but this image survived. It was then transfered to another chapel as part of the other saints on display.

Hallelujah.
