The public is invited to the Intramuros Grand Marian Procession (IGMP) set on Dec. 7, Sunday, from 4:00 p.m. onwards at Plaza Roma, across the Manila Metropolitan Cathedral Basilica.
Now on its 36th year, the event which is organized by the CofradÍa de la Inmaculada Concepción, will feature some of the best-loved images of the Blessed Virgin under various titles, both local and international.
James Benedict Malabanan, a “Marian through-and-through” and an IGMP regular, agreed it is the “most prestigious Marian procession” in the country, stressing it is a good avenue to “spread devotion”.
Proof of IGMP’s following are the thousands who take part in the festivities.
