The Historic Visit of the National Pilgrim Image of Our Lady of Fatima in our shrine.
In 1967, Pope St. Paul VI blessed 50 statues of Our Lady for global distribution, including one destined for the Philippines. In 1984, Jaime Cardinal Sin brought the image to the country, where it was crowned as the “National Pilgrim Image” during the National Marian Year launch.
The National Pilgrim Image played a pivotal role in history during the 1986 People Power Revolution, contributing to the peaceful overthrow of the Marcos dictatorship and the restoration of democracy in the Philippines.
On December 19, 2023, the National Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima officially announced that the Dicastery of Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments granted the petition for the Pontifical Coronation of the National Pilgrim Image of Our Lady of Fatima. The Coronation rites took place on February 25, 2024, the 38th anniversary of the peaceful EDSA People Power Revolution.
Ave Maria!
