โToday, we celebrate the Feast of Seรฑor Divino Rostroโthe Holy Face of Jesus, a devotion deeply rooted in the history and spiritual life of the Bicolanos.
โ
โThe devotion to the Divino Rostro in Bicol began in 1882, when a cholera epidemic threatened Nueva Cรกceres, now Naga City. Rev. Fr. Pedro de la Torre, a native of Osa de la Vega, Spain, remembered the devotion to the Holy Face in his hometown and brought a copy of the sacred image to the Cathedral. The faithful gathered in prayer, seeking the mercy and protection of the Lord.
โ
โAt the same time, the people prayed for the intercession of ๐ข๐๐ฟ ๐๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ปฬ๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฎ. This became the beginning of the beautiful tradition that brought together the devotion to Divino Rostro and Ina, a tradition that has continued for generations.
โ
โ
โWe continue to look upon the Holy Face of Jesus with the same faith of our forefathers, entrusting our families, our communities, the sick, and all our intentions to His loving mercy.
