Deepertruth: The Virgin Mary Appearing In The Philippines In The 1600's

One example:

In the year 1603, in a small barrio of Caysasay, in the town of Taal, a fisherman by the name of
Juan Maningcad went out fishing and instead of casting his net on the sea, threw it into the nearby
river, and instead of catching fish, caught a little statue of the Blessed Virgin of the Immaculate
Conception about six inches high. Although it was soaked in water, it had a heavenly lustre and her
face twinkled like a star. Upon seeing this marvel, the startled Juan, being a pious and virtuous man
prostrated himself before the image and began to pray. He picked it up and brought it home. "No
one knew how the image got to the river, and according to the old folks, perhaps the image was
thrown by one of the Spaniards to pacify the ravages of the ocean during one of those expeditions
and somehow the waves pushed it to the river. Another opinion was that perhaps someone exploring
the river must have inadvertently dropped it. (Some believe it came from China.)
The news began to spread like lightning until it reached the priest in town, and the judge that
represented the King of Spain at that time. Without notice they immediately went to Juan
Maningcad's house and there they saw the beautiful image of the Mother of God. They knelt down
to venerate it, and took the image to Taal where a town fiesta was celebrated.
The widow of the Justice of the Peace by the name of Madam Maria Espiritu, was given the task of
caring for the image. She ordered a precious urn to be made for the image and kept it in her home.
Every evening she noticed that the urn turned empty and the image gone, but then in the morning it
would be back in its usual place.
