Cardona, Rizal
The devotion to Our Lady began in 1854 when fishermen saw the image floating on the shores of Sapao(the old name of Cardona). They cannot lift the image but their wives, and daughters miraculously lift the image and bring it to the Visita. Some years later, the Visita is elevated into a Parish in 1872. Several miracles of the virgin is attributed like the help of the image on delivering a baby through her kamison or veil. Another miracle is when she disguises as an old lady timing around the province and she would ask to visit her on her tiny house infront of the municipal hall. Those who heeded her call realizes that it is the church. Her parish is elevated to a Diocesan Shrine on October 7, 2017, on the 145th founding anniversary. The image received the Episcopal coronation on September 27, 2018.

The virgin had never failed to amazed people.
The shrine image is always dressed with the plancha, while the original image owned by Ka Dile Ocampo is dressed by locally-made but beautiful dresses which was adorned by different jewelries that was donated by the devotees of the Virgin.
