Opinion: Here's why Our Lady of Guadalupe means so much to the Filipino community [Opinion]
Dec. 12 is a special day to thousands of faithful who honor the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe and a humble peasant named Juan Diego who was later canonized into sainthood by the Catholic church.Here in Southern California, she is especially associated with the Mexican community. In neighborhoods where Hispanics live, you can see her image in stores, on clothing, cars, banners and, of course, churches.
Franciscan friars first brought the Catholic faith to the Philippines, with its traditions and devotions, including “La Guadalupana de México.” The first parish church founded in her honor was in Pagsanhan, Laguna, the Philippines, in 1687. Fray Agustín de la Magdalena carried the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, a gift from Mexican devotees. This image remained in the church until it was destroyed during World War II, and replaced years later by another gift from Mexico.
What surprises many is that on July 16, 1935, Pope Pius XI decreed the Virgin of Guadalupe of Mexico be “in perpetual remembrance” as the “The Celestial Patroness of the Philippine Islands.”
