The miraculous Nuestra Senora de la Salud ( Our Lady of Health) was first brought to the Philippines by the Recollects from Mexico in 1606 and was first venerated at the San Nicholas Church in Intramuros where the offices of Manila Bulletin now stand. San Nicholas Church is also the original home of the Black Nazarene. However, the church was bombed by the Americans during the World War 2. The Black Nazarene was then transferred to Quiapo and the image of the Nuestra Senora de la Salud was found undamaged and intact.For unknown reasons, the Recollects decided to hide the image to the public for so many years. It was only in 2006 that they decided to bring it out again. San Nicholas de Tolentino Church is now its current home. She is the patron of the sick and those who want to stay in good health. A lot of sick people claimed to get healed because of their devotion to the image. Believers also see her as the patron of those who are facing pregnancy problems. Currently, the Catholic Church is reviving the devotion to the Nuestra Senora dela Salud, the image of the Virgin Mary which almost sank into oblivion.
