Last Sunday, I was able to visit the parish church of Nuesta Senora de Guadalupe de Cebu in uptown Cebu City which houses the blessed image of the Virgin considered as the Queen and patroness of CEBU.
The image was said to have been found by a local chicken trapper inside a cave near the river in Barangay Kalunasan called Sapang Diyot. It was originally given by the Spaniards when they first went ashore on the 16th century and eventually kept by the natives for fear that it will be taken back by the Spaniards or dishonored by non-believers. The place can be found at the back of where the present Our Lady of Guadalupe church now stands..
