Our Lady of the Assumption

Photo c/o RMO
My Auntie Pilar gifted my family with this blessed image of Our Lady of the Assumption nearly 20 years ago.  She handed it over to us when she was about to move to the United States.  This was gifted to her by Fr. Vic Tugade, a good friend of hers stationed in Nueva Vizcaya.  She informed me that she hand-carried the image on board a public bus from the province to Manila.  Here is a good link if you want to know more about the Assumption of Mary.  In Aotearoa New Zealand we have the Our Lady of the Assumption Onehunga parish with it's beautiful church, on top of a hill. We also have in Christchurch an elementary school, the Our Lady of the Assumption School.  It is also believe that the Assumption is the oldest feast of Our Lady.  Happy feast day everyone.
