First Coronation of Nuestra Senora dela Correa of Mexico Pampanga


While I was browsing the net, upon my flickr search I halt upon the photos of the account named TUMANG. He has an album of the same title as the header, I asked him if I could post this event and he gave his yes. This is the first time I saw the tablue dela Correa on a much appreciative outlook from the photos of the owner. I first saw the tablue on the retablo mayor of Lubao Pampanga, curved on a brelief. My friend told me this was Sta. Monica's dream. Upon Sta. Monica's prayer to the Virgin of converting Her son San Agustin, on Her dream she saw the Virgin throwing to her a black belt called "correa". A simple yet notable ceremony was held, mass concelebrated by Fr.Jinco Damaso. Mrs. February Tumang held the crown to the Image for the ceremonial coronation rites, then after was the grand procession.

Here's an added information given by the owner;
During the early 60's-70's; There was an old Image of dela Correa then, owned by Mercado-Lising-Borromeo family. This was said to be stolen.
