Solemnity of La Naval de Manila

"Then, as already consigned to deal with the cult and devotion to the venerable image, the city obliged, as vowed by the city council, to solemnly celebrate these victories one day of each year, says an author of that time, and gave the first day on the 20th of January in 1647, with very great solemnity of ornament, an image of Rosario, music, lighting, soldierly and equipment costs." (1)

 

[Spanish: Entónces, como ya queda consignado al tratar del culto y devoción á la veneranda imagen; obligóse la ciudad por voto hecho junta de Cabildo á celebrar con solemnidad estas victorias un dia de cada un año, dice un autor de aquel tiempo; y dió principio el dia 20 de Enero de 1647 con la grandísima solenidad de adorno de iglesia, imagen del Rosario, músicas, luminarias, soldadescas, gastos y aparatos]
