Grand Marian Procession 2008

Every 1st Sunday of December - the traditional feast of the Immaculate Concepcion (now officially celebrated on the 8th) -
the Grand Marian Festival is celebrated with a religious procession on the historic streets of Intramuros, Manila
featuring various images of the Blessed Virgin Mary from all over the country.

This unique showcase of a Philippine religious devotion is organized annually by the Cofradia de la Inmaculada Concepcion.

============================================================================================================
We brought along THE National Pilgrim Image with us for the 29th annual Grand Marian Procession. As the group passed by
the Manila Cathedral-Basilica, one of the top 3 adjudged memorable moments as mentioned by blogsters seems to be
our release of butterflies and a floating rosary made up of light blue and white balloons as seen in the background: https://pbase.com/carinoza/image/106825464
