For Filipino visual artist Noli Prinsipe Manalang, being chosen to design the vestments, crown, and carroza of Our Lady of Manaoag for the centenary of her canonical coronation was more than an artistic commission—it was the fulfillment of a long-held devotion.
A century after its canonical coronation, devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title of Our Lady of Manaoag remains vibrant and steadfast, an enduring expression of faith shaped by time, prayer, and grace in the Philippines.
Around one million devotees are expected to gather in Manaoag in the northern Philippine province of Pangasinan on April 22 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the canonical coronation of the Our Lady of the Rosary of Manaoag.
