La Naval de Manila
La Naval de Manila is celebrated every 2nd Sunday of October at Sto. Domingo Church, Quezon City. This is a festival revolving around the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary of La Naval, carved in 1593. The image was given as a gift to the Dominican fathers which has been elegantly decorated and placed in a well-lit carriage in a form of a ship. During the festival, the beloved image is brought out of the church followed by a dozen images of Dominican saints. The procession goes around the main streets of Sto. Domingo Parish and returns to the church amidst applause until it reaches the altar pedestal.
