Our most loving Mother, Our Lady of Solitude of Porta Vaga!

Look down upon us, your loving children, prostrate before your August presence.

We humbly beg and ask of Thee to obtain for us from your Son Jesus, all the graces, favors, blessings and aids, we badly need both for ourselves and our loved ones.

Dearest Mother, we loved Thee.

Envelope us always within the Maternal wings of thy Motherly Tutelage and protection.

Amen.

La Virgen de la Soledad de Porta Vaga - the patroness of the city of Cavite, also called "Reina de Cavite".

She has been the refuge of the immortal spirit, the center of religious life and special sanctuary of every true Caviteño.

The virgin is depicted as a lady in mourning.

Mary, garbed in black and white attire, seems to be on her knees as she contemplates the passion of her son.

Before her are the crown of thorns and the nails instrument of Christ's passion.

The image of the virgin is painted on a canvas.

An inscription was found at the back of the painting.

A doze de Abril 1692 años Juan Oliba puso esta Stma.

Ymagen Haqui, which means,"The sacred image was placed here by Juan Oliba on April 12,1692.

This particular icon was used to bless the galleon plying between Cavite and Acapulco (Mexico) during formal sending off ceremonies.

Thus, she was called the Patroness of the Galleon.

The most venerated image of La Virgen de la Soledad de Porta Vaga is an invaluable treasure inherited by the Caviteños from their antepasado (ancestors).

This is the oldest existing dated Marian painting in the Philippines.

The Virgen de la Soledad was acknowledged as the Celestial Guardian and Protectress of the entire province of Cavite and the port since her arrival in Cavite shore.

In 1892 Don Julian Felipe, the Philippine National Anthem composer, composed the hymn "REINA de CAVITE", on the occassion of her fiesta in which Caviteños celebrate it every second Sunday in the month of November, and for the opening of the Exposicion Regional Caviteña.

The lyric of the hymn was taken from the poem Himmo a la Virgen de Cavite written by Fr. Tomas de Andrade, the rector of the Jesuit College of Cavite sometime in 1689.

to suffer with patience the trials of this earthy life,

with the protection of your maternal care,

may I sing your praise with grateful heart in heaven forever. Amen.
