decided to get money to finance his trip by selling the image to the antique shop. Mayoralgo wanted Santos to exchange the image he bought from the antique shop for the canonically crowned Image enshrined in the parish church, which he wanted to bring home. Santos refused to surrender the image in the church to Mayoralgo, defending its antiquity and authenticity, but in order to appease Mayoralgo, allowed him to use this 1965 image as the official replica of the one enshrined at church. Mayoralgo decided to crown his image in 1965 (using the 1959 coronation regalia) and have a chapel built in the barrio of Silahis to enshrine his image, which he continued to claim as the original. He also had a novena (without the required Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur) printed and distributed, wherein he expressed the same claims. To date, the diocese has not and does not recognize his claims while maintaining the authenticity of the canonically crowned image in the parish church. The diocese, however, allows the veneration of the image of Silahis in its chapel as an expression of the people's piety towards the Virgin. On April 18, 1984, Cardinal Jaime Sin led the celebrations for the 25th anniversary of the canonical coronation. The 50th or golden anniversary of the canonical coronation was also celebrated with the presence of Gaudencio Cardinal Rosales in 2009. The feast of the Virgen Milagrosa de Orani is celebrated by hundreds of thousands of devotees from all parts of Luzon, who flock to her shrine every second Sunday of October. At the shrine, the pilgrims pray the rosary, hear Mass, receive Holy Communion and kiss the mantle of the Virgin at the back of the church. The town fiesta of Orani is considered by many as the most lively and joyous in Bataan, and even the whole of Central Luzon, due to the huge number of pilgrims who travel starting on the first day of the novena until the feast day itself. Throughout the town, marching bands can be seen and heard, while stalls selling different products – from food to toys and clothing – line the plaza, the church area as well as main thoroughfares. On the feast day itself, Masses are celebrated every hour from 3:00 a.m. till 9:00 p.m. and all of these Masses are always brimming with people. Busloads of pilgrims from all over the country also
