Our Lady o
Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary of Manaoag is a major pilgrimage site in Manaoag, Pangasinan, The Philippines.
While there you can visit and pray to the first Lady statue. This is found right at the entrance of the grounds. By it is an area where you can light a candle, offer a mass, and say a prayer.
Then visit the Church where the main statue of Our Lady Of Manaoag is found. She sits there beautifully in her white gown. Many people come far and wide to pray for any intention they may have. Eg. If sick, to get better; if they have an upcoming exam, to pass; people pray for their family, for safe travels, for themselves. Many people believe that by visiting Our Lady, she grants the wishes of even those who are considered, hopeless as and helpless.
Climbing a few flights of stairs you will come to an area where you can touch the dress of the Virgin Mary. You literally can only stick your hands through the hole, as to protect the dress itself. To do this you will have to queue up.
It is usually always busy there, especially during the feast days on the third Wednesday after Easter and first Sunday of October.
It is a beautiful Church, one that should be visited, even if not religious.
