Our Lady Apo Baket of Namacpacan

Our Lady Apo Baket of Namacpacan was the title given to our Blessed Virgin Mary by the natives of La Union because she appeared to the indigenous people of the Cordilleras as an old woman and offered them food and invited them to be baptized. Apo Baket is how the people call the elderly woman as a sign of respect. The Image got the name from the town itself.

Namacpacan was a place of refuge for those people running from the tyranny of colonizers. It also served as a stopover intersection for those going to Vigan, Ilocos Sur. She was canonically crowned on November 24, 1958 by the high-ranking officials led by Papal Nuncio Salvatore Siino. She is acknowledged as the the Filipina who generously grants wishes, particularly in times of economic crisis. She is the refuge of farmers, fishermen and planters threatened by calamities, pests, and drought.

Tikoy for chinese new year!

TIKOY PARTEEEE NA! Tikoy or Niangao (nin gou in Cantonese), sometimes translated as year cake or Chinese New Year's cake, is a food prepared from glutinous rice and consumed in Chinese cuisine. It is available in Asian supermarkets and from health food stores. While it can be eaten all year round, traditionally it is most popular during Chinese New Year. It is considered good luck to eat nian gao during this time, because "nian gao" is a homonym for "higher year." The Chinese word 粘 (nián), meaning "sticky", is identical in sound to 年, meaning "year", and the word 糕 (gāo), meaning "cake" is identical in sound to 高, meaning "high or tall". As such, eating nian gao has the symbolism of raising oneself taller in each coming year (年年高升 niánnián gāoshēng). Also known as rice cake. This sticky sweet snack was believed to be an offering to the Kitchen God, with the aim that his mouth will be stuck with the sticky cake, so that he can't badmouth the human family in front of the Jade Emperor.
