The Santisima Trinidad Parish in Malate, Manila is inviting the faithful to visit its Marian Exhibit featuring various revered images of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
With the theme “Tota Pulchra es Maria,” the Marian exhibit features more than 40 revered images of the Blessed Virgin Mary in her titles from the different parishes and Marian devotees around Luzon. It features among many other icons the images of Aliaga’s Our Lady of the Salt Mines, Makati’s Virgen de la Rosa, and one of the oldest images of Our Lady of Lourdes in the country.
"Tota pulchra es Maria” is a Catholic prayer written in the fourth century. It means "You are completely beautiful.” It speaks of the Blessed Mother’s Immaculate Conception. Some of its verses are used as antiphons for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception on Dec. 8.
Organized by the Custodians of the Holy Trinity in coordination with the Worship Ministry of the parish, the Marian exhibit aims to introduce and deepen the devotion of the faithful to the Blessed Virgin Mary as well as an act of thanksgiving of the parish for its successful construction project.
The construction of the parish was completed last February and had its solemn dedication on March 26 led by Manila Archbishop Jose F. Cardinal Advincula and its former parish priest Fr. Joselito Buenafe.
The Marian exhibit will run until October 30 and is open from Tuesday to Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 12 noon and 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sundays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
