Our Lady of the Candles
Our Lady of the Candles (Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria; formally: Nuestra Señora de la Purificación y Candelaria) is a Marian title and image venerated by Filipino Catholics in the Western Visayas. The image, which is enshrined in the balcony of Jaro Cathedral, is locally known as the patroness of Jaro District of Iloilo City.
The feast day of Our Lady of the Candles is on Candlemas (2 February), and is celebrated in Iloilo City with Tridentine Masses, a grand procession, and numerous other parades.
==Description==
The title commemorates Mary's ritual purification during the Presentation of Jesus. Halakha (Jewish law) ordered that firstborn sons be redeemed at the Temple in Jerusalem when they are 40 days old. The mother, who expelled blood during the birth, was considered unclean for a week and 33 days thereafter, necessitating her purification at the same time the child is redeemed.
The 16th-century limestone statue depicts Mary and the Child Jesus carrying tapers in their right hands. It is customarily vested in gold cloth; crowns adorn mother and son, the latter holding a globus cruciger in his left hand. The candle held by the image enshrined in the cathedral's façade is today tipped with a red electrical bulb.
