| Description |
Orig. Flickr desc: Interior of St. Augustine Church. The shrine to Our Lady of Charity (Nuestra Señora de La Caridad) statue is in back of the altar, the image’s blue cloak (possibly) visible behind the slightly smaller Virgin Mary statue on this side.
St. Augustine Church was built in 1590. Damage incurred during World War II necessitated reconstruction in 1950. The architecture is earthquake Baroque, a Philippine style emphasizing shorter and wider proportions with thick walls in reaction to destructive earthquakes that have periodically struck the Philippines. (The church is commonly known as Bantay Church as it is located in the town of Bantay on the northern border of Vigan City.)
Inside the church is housed the image of Our Lady of Charity (locally known as Apo Caridad de Bantay), a statue of the Virgin Mary holding bold the Baby Jesus and a gold cross that was discovered in the 17th century by three sea-salt collectors caught in a fierce storm that destroyed their canoes on their way to the sea. The statue was floating on a wooden board inscribed ‘I am the Virgin of Charity’ in Spanish. The shrine is a pilgrimage site. On Google Earth: St. Augustine Church 17°34'52.14"N, 120°23'29.46"E |
