Catanduanes : Batong Paloway



A few kilometers away from San Andres housed the
miraculously "growing" stone of Our Lady of Sorrows.

The image on the stone is said to increase in size over time.
Its original size measures 3/4 cm by 1 cm.  Now it's 6 cm by 8 cm.
But as it grew, the image on the stone isn't altered or gets distorted.
The people can look at the image with their naked eyes and
may use a magnifying lens to have a better view of the image.


Because of it, the image has drawn devotees to celebrate Mass and offer novenas every Friday.
