Our Lady of Balintawak
Our Lady of Balintawak (Spanish: Nuestra Señora de Balintawak, Filipino: Mahal na Birhen ng Balintawak), also known as the Virgin of Balintawak (Spanish: Virgen de Balintawak, Filipino: Birhen ng Balintawak) or Virgin Balintawak (Spanish: Virgen Balintawak, Filipino: Birhen Balintawak), is an Aglipayan title of the Blessed Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus based on the Marian apparitions reported in 1896 by a Katipunan soldier during his dream. The Virgin of Balintawak is a Marian image and icon venerated in the Philippine Independent Church, one of only two (the other the Our Lady of Maulawin) indigenous to the nationalist church that considers her as its patroness.
