Badoc Basilica
Minor Basilica of St. John the Baptist Basílica Menor de San Juan Bautista
The architect of the church is Brother Antonio Estavillo, OSA, who also built the Church of St. Augustine in Paoay, which is recognized as a world heritage site. It is one of the eleven Baroque Fil Hispanic churches in Ilocos Norte. The side walls of the single-nave church are reinforced with massive buttress walls to protect against earthquakes. To the left of the entrance to the church is a bell tower.
The church was converted into a parish church in 1714 when it was separated from the parish of St. Nicholas of Tolentino (now also a basilica) in Sinait.[2] In November 2018 the elevation of the church to a basilica minor was announced.[2]
Virgen Milagrosa
The church is also a Marian shrine, it houses the statue of the miraculous Virgin Mary, the Virgen Milagrosa. The story traces the life-size statue back to Nagasaki in Japan. It is said to have been given to the sea by Christians in Japan who were in secret because of the persecution during the Tokugawa regime, along with a miraculous statue of Christ of the Black Nazarene. The statues came ashore in 1620 at Paguetpet on the border between Sinait and Badoc..[2] The statue of Mary came to Badoc, the statue of Christ to Sinait. The statue of the Virgin Mary was canonically crowned in May 31, 2018.[3]
