Second Sunday in November
Nuestra Señora de la Soledad de Porta Vaga, Cavite City, Calabarzon, Philippines
Usually translated "Our Lady of Solitude," Nuestra Señora de la Soledad is really Our Lady of Grief, kneeling before the instruments of her Son's death. With varying details, local traditions indicate the image was found in the late 1600s along the shore of Manila Bay near the Porta Vaga harbor. An inscription on the back of the painting of the Virgin of Porta Vaga says, "On April 12, 1692, Juan Oliba placed this Sacred Image here." At the time, the port was home to a hundred galleons operating a profitable trade route between the Philippines and Acapulco, Mexico. Our Lady of Porta Vaga quickly became their patroness, and her image was used to bless the departing ships. Her fiesta on the second Sunday of November was celebrated with great splendor, the bare feet of processing pilgrims treading rich carpets in the streets. In 1945, U.S. and Philippine forces, bombing the Japanese occupiers, destroyed the Cathedral of Our Lady of Grief of Porta Vaga. The image is now at a side altar in the Church of San Roque, where people line up to pray to the Queen of Cavite, patroness of the province and well-known worker of miracles.Source: "Nuestra Señora dela Soledad de Porta Vaga," en.wikipedia.org
