Today is Santa Marian Kamalen Day in Guam. Santa Marian Kamalen (Our Lady of Camarin) is the Patroness of the Marianas. She is also referred to as the Dulce Nombre, the “Sweet Name,” and associated with a 300-year old statue of the Virgin Mary, which is venerated by Roman Catholics in Guam. The statue is said to have arrived on a Spanish galleon that was shipwrecked in June 1690 on Cocos Island. It was then found by a fisherman. The statue is 28 inches (70cm) tall and made from wood and ivory. It is enshrined high above the main altar at the Dulce Nombre de Maria Cathedral Basilica, in HagĂ„tña, the capital of Guam. The December 8th date is intertwined with Santa Marian Kamalen. On that day in 1941, the statue was moved for safekeeping just as the Japanese bombed the island during the second world war. After the war, the image was enshrined back at the cathedral on December 8th 1945.
