HM King Raymond
Original image of the Nuestra Senora de Penafrancia
This is the original image of the Nuestra Senora de Penafrancia commissioned by Miguel Robles de Covarrubias in the 1700s. A dog was killed to obtain blood to be used to paint the image . The dead dog was thrown in the Naga River but later was seen alive swimming in the river towards his owner's residence. This was the first miracle in Nueva Caceres which happened during the Spanish period. One would notice that the face of the child Jesus is already erased. This resulted after the image was stolen in the 1980s. It is said that the image was buried in the ground without any protection.
