The Our Lady of Guidance or Nuestra Señora de Guia Church
enshrined the 16th-century Roman Catholic image of the Blessed
Virgin Mary in the traditional image of the Immaculate Conception that
is widely venerated by Filipino Roman Catholics. It is believed to be
the oldest Marian image in the Philippines, the wooden statue have
been originally brought by Ferdinand Magellan along with Santo
Niño de Cebú. The saint is venerated as patroness of navigators and
travellers. It is Located in Ermita, Manila City. This church is also known as
Malate shrine.
I happened to see this when I went to the St. Lukes Medical
Center Extension, it is near the United States Embassy and other Maritime
Company, which makes this Church a place to pray for those who want to work
overseas or who want to travel.
