History of the Virgin of Turumba

The history of the Virgin of Turumba in Pakil begins when one Friday morning, some fishermen trying their luck along Laguna de Bay caught something on their nets. It was a 9" x 11" icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is said that when the fishermen tried to row the other way going to another town, the boat would not budge. It was only when they rowed the boat toward Pakil that the wind caught the sail and on they went. It was Sunday when the fishermen reached the shore. By then, people had gathered. As if guided by the Virgin herself, the men carried the icon with the people following in a procession. They danced while parading. The icon was enshrined in the church of St Peter of Alcantara which was run by the Franciscans. The day was Sept. 15, 1788.
