Nuestra Señora del Buen Suceso, also known as Our Lady of the Good Event, is a statue of the Virgin Mary enshrined at the Cathedral Parish of St. Andrew in Parañaque City, Metro Manila in the Philippines. ==History== The history of Our Lady of the Good Event in Parañaque was based on the writings of Father Nicolás de San Pedro, O.S.A., the vicar of St. Andrew's Parish (now the Cathedral Parish of St. Andrew). The Augustinian fathers brought the image from Spain in 1580 as a gift from the King to Filipino converts. The Augustinians stayed in Palanyag (now Parañaque) and established St. Andrew's Parish that year. The image was left untouched and covered with dust until Catig, a poor native from Don Galo, saw this and asked the sacristan if he could take the statue home. The sacristan obliged and Catig enshrined it in his home, lighting candles in its honour. As Catig lay dying later on, his neighbours called a Fr Juan de Guevarra to administer Last Rites. Upon blessing Catig, Fr. De Guevarra saw the statue standing near the bed and asked if he could buy it for PHP 24 (note: the peso was of higher value during the Spanish Period). Catig initially refused, but then changed his mind, knowing that it would be revered by the people. Fr. De Guevarra took the statue and placed it in his own room after Catig had died.〔Nobena sa Karangalan ng Nuestra Señora del Buen Suceso, October 7, 1996, pg. 5-6〕 According to Fr. De Guevarra, he saw the image emit a mysterious light and heard glorious hymns, leading him to conclude the image as being miraculous. Fr. De Guevarra reported the miracle immediately to the Augustinian Superior Fr. Alonzo de Mentrida. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nuestra Señora del Buen Suceso de Parañaque」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
