Marikina Church, Baroque church in Marikina, Philippines.
The Diocesan Shrine and Parish of Our Lady of the Abandoned is a baroque church in Marikina featuring ornate ceiling murals and exterior religious sculptures. The interior accommodates large congregations and displays typical baroque architectural details throughout.
The site was founded in 1572 and rebuilt in 1700 by Augustinian friars. It survived multiple earthquakes and wartime destruction over the centuries, remaining a standing structure today.
The church serves as the center of religious celebrations in Marikina, drawing crowds during Holy Week processions where the community gathers in large numbers. These public celebrations reveal how deeply the parish is woven into local religious life and traditions.
The church is located on J.P. Rizal Street and is easy to access. It offers daily masses, and the spacious interior allows visitors to find comfortable seating during services.
During World War II, a Japanese bomb landed near the bell tower but failed to detonate. The community sees this as a sign of protection over this sacred place.
