The Our Lady of Manaoag Museum, which houses the historic and religious articles related to the miraculous image offers to the pilgrims an extended area for reflection.
Items, accompanied by historical notes, are arranged to tell the story of Manaoag—from the early missions of the Dominican Order in Pangasinan, to the apparition, to the construction of the “Church on a hill.”
Displayed at the 14 x 10-meter hall are a vintage carroza, used to transport the image during processions; a collection of Pre-Vatican II garments, which some may date back to the 17th century; a variety of sacred vessels; and valuable accessories, vestments, and perfumes of the image.
The museum is open to pilgrims for the whole week, except on Tuesdays, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
A more spacious new candle gallery can now accommodate the large number of devotees who light candles for their prayers and petitions. The candle gallery has been designed by Architect Armando “Don” de Guzman.
Subdued lightings that accentuate the glares of candlelight also add solemnity to the place. At the center of the structure, a soothing fountain is yet to be completed, where a replica of the image of Manaoag will be installed.
Devotees who wish to have their religious articles blessed may ask a priest to bless the items at “blessing area” beside the candle gallery. The area accommodates the blessing of holy water, religious items, and vehicles.
Pilgrims may also find religious books and items at the newly-renovated religious stores in the shrine premises that sell a variety of rosaries, religious images, novenas and books.
Recently, the Shrine has launched its website, www.manaoagshrine.org, and the DVD of “Manaoag: The Call of the Virgin,” the two-hour documentary that enjoyed high ratings during the Black Saturday of 2010 after being aired at GMA-7.
Our Lady of Manaoag is a canonically crowned image of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary, duly recognized by the Vatican and enshrined in a church under the Dominican Order in the country.
