Marikina Church, Baroque church in Marikina, Philippines.
The Diocesan Shrine and Parish of Our Lady of the Abandoned features ornate ceiling murals depicting the Mysteries of the Rosary and exterior sculptures of religious figures.
Founded in 1572 and rebuilt in 1700 by Augustinian friars, the church withstood multiple earthquakes in 1816 and 1830, plus severe damage during the Philippine-American War.
The church maintains Metro Manila's longest Holy Week processions, presenting 87 detailed floats that demonstrate the local community's religious dedication.
Located on J.P. Rizal Street, the church provides daily masses and hosts regular religious ceremonies in a spacious interior that accommodates large congregations.
During World War II, a Japanese bomb landed near the bell tower but did not explode, an event the community attributes to divine intervention.
