Ermita Church, Catholic parish church in Ermita district, Manila, Philippines
The Ermita Church features a modern design with straight lines, numerous clerestory windows, and a prominent statue of Our Lady of Guidance on its facade
Spanish soldiers discovered the original shrine in 1571, finding local residents gathered around a wooden statue of the Virgin Mary among pandan trees
The Marian image of Nuestra Señora de Guía represents Filipino religious heritage through its Asian features and construction from native molave wood
The church holds regular masses throughout the week and maintains the original statue inside while displaying a replica for public veneration
The current building, completed in 1953, represents the ninth version of the church structure that has stood on this historic site
