The Nuestra Señora de la Porteria Chapel:
About the Chapel:
In 1759 a painting on canvas of the The Nuestra Señora de la Porteria was brought to Majayjay from Madrid, Spain by the Franciscan Missionaries. The Municipal Captain of Majayjay petitioned for the construction of a Chapel or Ermita to house the Miraculous Image. The Chapel was named in honor of The Nuestra Señora de la Porteria.
InApril 21,1760 the Image was enshrined in its altar by four priests. The Curator decreed that a mass be held every thursday and ever since many have become recipients of the Miraculous Lady.
My Visit to the Chapel:
Despite having visited Majayjay several times, i never noticed this small chapel. It was by accident that i got to see this chapel. We were already leaving Majayjay when i saw a beautiful view of the church and when i got down the Chapel greeted me.
