[edit] Mahal na Birhen ng Biglang-Awa
On May 10, 2008, the Diocese of Boac celebrated the 30th year anniversary of its canonical erection and the golden anniversary of the canonical coronation of Mahal na Birhen ng Biglang-Awa (1958-2008). Ricardo Cardinal Vidal, of Mogpog, Marinduque, officiated the Concelebrated Mass. The people’s devotion to the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary, began when the Spanish Jesuit missionaries in 1621, brought the 3-foot Marian image to Boac. In the mid-17th century, a big expedition of Moros landed on the shores of Barangay Laylay near the Boac river. Many Christians were killed in the siege. But due to their devotion to Mary, the Moros fled to their Vintas, when, at the storm’s fury, a beautiful Lady with her arms outstretched stood on top of the wall (where the shrine is now located). To commemorate the miracle, a stone niche was built on the wall.[1]
