For the first time, the grand Marian procession in Intramuros was marred by rains. On Dec. 4, rains fell on people setting up the “carrozas” inside Fort Santiago. Devotees who had brought their images as far as Isabela and Piat, Cagayan, covered their images with tarpaulins.
From the six images that initially made up the first Marian procession of the Cofradia de la Inmaculada Concepcion in December, 1980, the procession has grown through the years.
