OPON DEVOTION

This archival photo shows the old Opon Church that was built between 1735 to 1744, according to the book on Lapu-Lapu City published by the Cebu Provincial Government. The church is dedicated to Virgen de la Regla or Virgin of the Rule. According to the book, she is depicted as dark skinned because devotion to her originated in Africa.

Agustinian Fr. Francisco Avalle taught Oponganons in 1735 about Virgen de la Regla using a painting. The painting is housed in a room at the back of the church. The statue of the Virgen was made based on the painting.

The old church seen in this 1910 photo was torn down in 1960.
