Marilao Grand Marian Procession 2012

October 7th, after hearing mass in St. Michael the Archangel Parish did a bit of sight seeing since Kuya Michael also informed me that they have a Grand Marian Procession in the afternoon...too bad I can't stay (till the afternoon) since back at home we also have a Living Rosary that I need to attend.

Marian Images being readied for the afternoon's procession at the municipall hall which is a few steps away from the Parish church.

Back to the "Matandang Visita"

From the Municipal hall, another short walk back to the chapel where the wake of Tita Cora is, I passed by several houses preparing their own images, did not take pictures since they are busily working on the carroza's.

Instead I focused my energies inside the chapel. The chapel started out very small, this is the first Visita built in the area of Marilao, as time went by, as the miracles of the Sto.Cristo spread and the number of Hermanos and Hermanas increased, the chapel expanded to its current structure.
