In Alicia, a premier municipality in the province of Isabela and home to the Pagay festival, the Our Lady of Atocha Church is located. It was finished in 1849, and the Department of Tourism has designated it as one of the nation's top religious travel attractions.
Atocha is Madrid's royal temple; for a thousand years, no mighty Spaniard has walked by without kneeling to her and pleading for assistance. There is no shrine more exemplifies how little it matters where we stand in the world or what we do for a living than the one in which she dresses; and her clothes are crafted from the bridal gowns of queens. Our Lady of Atocha provides unbiased and loving responses to each of her supplicants' requests, whether they are for rain to quench the thirst of their parched lands or for victory for their armies.
Our Lady of Atocha in Isabela appears to be a typical Spanish church, because of its structure and composition, as Atocha is the royal shrine of Madrid. In fact, Our Lady of Atocha's brick façade features a bell tower with four levels. These is one of the relics of the beloved landmark in the Municipality of Alicia, Isabela.
The Church itself isn't jus the artificat of Alicia but there are numerous things that you can see as you go the museum of the Church. The picture above shows the materials used in the late 1900's wherein it is part of the so called history of Atocha Church. One of it is the "Pearl Shell" used in the year 1952 as the baptisimal font of the Church. Another one are the "Vestments" used in the year 1952-1972. Next is are the "Gowns" worn by Our Lady of Atocha. Of course, the "Altar Table" that serves between 1952-1975 for the Holy Mass as well as the "Sacred Vessels." The other one is "BANGA" it was used as containers of food and water before, until now there are still few banga that can be seen around the municipality of Alicia.
