Caption: Church procession in Antipolo
Additional Description: As noted in Wikipedia, the church “…enshrines a venerated Black Madonna image of the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage (Spanish: Nuestra Señora de la Paz y Buen Viaje), and serves as the seat of the Bishop of Antipolo. The shrine attracts millions of pilgrims annually, especially during the pilgrimage season from May to July each year.” As for the difference in appearance between this photograph and its current appearance?
