This 1937 vintage photo shows the high altar of the Manila Cathedral. Central to the devotion and veneration in the high altar is the image of Our Lady of Immaculate Conception.
The cathedral, the altar and the image in the photo were destroyed during World War 2.
The Manila Cathedral was reconstructed in 1958, together with the principal altar and a new image of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception.
The Marian image, designed by German Toni Fiedler, is based on the famous painting of Spanish painter Bartolome Esteban Murillo. The bronze image originally featured a metallic finish, but was polychromed in the 1980s.

This photo from the Grand Marian Procession Souvenir Program in the 1980s shows the image of the Nuestra Señora de la Inmaculada Concepcion Mater Purisima or more popularly known as “La Festejada”, or image used for festivities. The La Festejada is an Immaculate Conception image of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The original festejada image of the Franciscan order in Intramuros was destroyed during World War 2. A new image was commissioned using an antique ivory head and hands with a new bastidor body and set of vestments. The new festejada image was blessed at San Agustin Church on 07 December 1980 by Rec. Fr. Gregorio Liqueta, OSA.
The La Festejada is the last image lined-up at the Grand Marian Procession held annually in Intramuros. During most times of the year, the image is housed and displayed at the recently reopened Museo de Intramuros.

This undated photo shows the interior of the old San Ignacio Church in Intramuros, Manila.
The San Ignacio Church, designed by architect Felix Roxas, Sr., was the second church of the Jesuit order in Intramuros and was consecrated in 1889. The church was renowned for its intricate wood carvings in its main altar, ceilings, pulpit, and other wall panels that were created by Filipino craftsmen and artisans led by Isabelo Tampinco. It was the Jesuits’ “sueño dorado” or “golden dream.”
The church was destroyed during the Battle of Manila in 1945. It burned for four days, all of its beautiful wood works were reduced to ashes.
This year, the San Ignacio Church was repurposed into the new Centro de Turismo Intramuros, a comprehensive tourist hub and museum that features an immersive experience into the rich history, vibrant present, and sustainable future of Intramuros.
Centro de Turismo Intramuros aims to foster a deeper understanding of the past and ignite a passion for preserving our cultural treasures.
