9 JANUARY | The Traslación of Nuestro Padre
Jesus Nazareno from San Nicolas
de Tolentino de Intramuros to his
present Shrine at San Juan
Bautista de Quiapo and the Dungaw
of Nuestra Señora del Carmen de
San Sebastian

THE TRASLACIÓN

It is said that the image of the Señor of Quiapo was a replica, made from Mexico carved from dark wood, of an earlier image of the Nazareno enshrined in the Old San Nicolas de Tolentino Church of the Order of the Augustinian Recollects in Intramuros, Manila. The “other Nazareno” image in Intramuros is said to be the “Nazareno of the Elites” (this image was later destroyed during the Second World War) while the the Nazareno of Quiapo is known as the “Nazareno of the Masses”. The Quiapo image was said to be enshrined in San Nicolas Church’s Sacristy for years, and also gained fame and a reputation to be miraculous. Due to security issues of the Walled City, Manila Archbishop Basilio Sancho de Santas Justa y Rufina mandated the transfer of the image from Intramuros to the Parish of St. John the Baptist in Quiapo, Manila in the late 1787 where it has rested on its altar ever since.

THE DUNGAW OF VIRGEN DEL CARMEN

The “Dungaw” rites is probably the main highlight of the Traslacion. The Image of Nuestra Senora del Carmen of San Sebastián Minor Basilica of Quiapo, Manila is the first image of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in the Philippines. The venerable image was brought to the Philippines in 1618 by Spanish Recoletos on their 3rd mission to the country, led by Fray Rodrigo de San Miguel. The sacred statue was a gift presented by the Discalced Carmelite Nuns of Mexico while their ship was anchored there, en route to Manila. The crew elected the Virgen del Carmen the ‘capitana’ of their ship in their voyage to the Pacific. Prior to the arrival of the Carmelites in the country, it was the Augustinian Recollects who first propagated the devotion to the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and miracles were proven to be numerous over the years that with the permission of the Carmelite Order, both the Carmelites of Ancient Observance (OCarm) and the Discalced Carmelites (OCD), a Confraternity was formed to propagate the devotion to the Virgin of Carmel and the Brown Scapular. The Queen of Quiapo was Canonically Crowned on August 18, 1991.

The origins of the “Dungaw” rites were unknown due to scant of records available, yet some of the old programs for the festivities of the Virgen del Carmen were discovered in the archives of the Augustinian Recollects stated that such tradition existed. The rite, which was discontinued in the early 1900s also for still-unknown reasons and revived on January 9, 2014, On this rite, the Black Nazarene is coming from R. Hidalgo Street, stopping briefly at Plaza del Carmen, a square along the southwest flank of the neo-gothic Basílica Menor de San Sebastián, before proceeding towards Bilibid Viejo Street.

After the recitation of the rosary by congregation inside San Sebastián Minor Basilica, the Recollect fathers remove the image of Our Lady of Mount Carmel from her altar and place the image on a special platform at the Basilica’s balcony. There, the Virgin is lifted up by several priests to “see” and “meet” the Black Nazarene as devotees fall silent, with several prayers, and hymns being chanted fervently. Shortly thereafter, the priests slowly turn the Virgin’s image so that it “watches” the Black Nazarene and its procession depart the vicinity of Plaza del Carmen as the Basilica’s bells are rung. The image of Our Lady is then returned to her high altar.

The nature of the Dungaw is quite unique for it is the meeting of the two of the most venerable images of Quiapo, Manila. The “Dungaw” rites is more of a religious courtesy where it was in this rite that the King and Queen of Quiapo meet in a glorious manner, not the meeting of the Sorrowing Virgin and her Son as some of the faithful opined as it was already done with the “Sungaw” rites and leading the faithful to prayer. It can be said that the “Dungaw” rites is also a transitional rite for it invites the faithful to celebrate the January del Carmen festivities after that of the Nazareno which is traditionally celebrated every January 29 (9 days after the feast of San Sebastian, the Titular Patron of the Basilica))- both great legacies of the Order of the Augustinian Recollects in the Philippines.

SAINT HANNIBAL DI FRANCIA'S DEVOTION TO
MARIA BAMBINELLA

Saint Hannibal was a great Marian Devotee. No feast of the Virgin Mary, under whatever title, was ever forgotten. Novenas, songs, prayers, vigil, and fastings were done in her honor. One of the Favorite titles of Mary that Saint Hannibal loved, was the Maria Bambinella. He was madly in love with Bambinella. He let people photograph himself bearing her in his hands. He wanted that each community of the Rogationists and Daughters of Divine Zeal, should have Maria Bambinella, and a solemn celebration on her feast should be done. Before his death, the Blessed Virgin Mary, comforted him in his final earthly life by appearing to him as the little child Mary.

Following the desire of their Saintly Founder, the Rogationists wants to spread this wonderful devotion to Maria Bambinella to all the Faithful.

30/08/2023

SHORT HISTORY OF MARIA BAMBINELLA

Holy Mother Church celebrates the birthday of Our Blessed Mother Mary on the 8th of September each year, but rarely have we seen her as a little child.

The Miraculous image of Maria Bambinella was made prior to 1730 by a Franciscan Nun who afterwards entrusted the image to others. In 1856 the Sisters of Charity at Lovere, Italy, were asked to take over the management of the Hospital of Cicere in Milan and in 1876 this waxen image was carried to their Mother House at Via S. Sofia 13, where it has remained ever since then.

The beautiful image of Maria Bambinella was exposed for veneration for the first time on 8th of September, the Feast of Mary's Nativity. A certain Sister Josephine Woinovich was bedridden due to paralysis and a novice, Giulia Macario was seriously ill. On the 8th of September they begged the Mother General to get the image of Maria Bambinella. They prayed to her and the following day, both were immediately and miraculously cured.
