a replica of the image was made to commemorate the quadricentennial of the icon's finding. from may 1970 to 1971, the replica visited almost all parishes, chapels, hospitals, schools, and other institutions in the archdiocese of manila. it is this replica that is brought out for processions and public veneration on its feast day, with the original remaining ensconced in its glass-covered alcove above the main altar. the statue was removed from the shrine and placed in the room of pope john paul ii for the duration of his 1995 apostolic visit.
