A procession of thousands on Saturday, July 12, at the Christ Cathedral and into the surrounding streets in Garden Grove capped off the fourth annual Marian Days.
The two-day event is a celebration of the Virgin Mary with lectures and workshops, special Masses and cultural performances. This year’s theme was “Walking With Mary.”
The Diocese of Orange created its Marian Days festival following the completion of its Our Lady of La Vang Shrine, and the event draws from the Vietnamese Catholic community around Southern California and beyond.
Many of the activities take place at the shrine, with its 16-foot-tall statue of the Virgin Mary dressed in a traditional Vietnamese ao dai and holding the baby Jesus. In the shrine, she is surrounded by trees representing the forest of La Vang where it is believed the Marian apparition appeared in 1798 to comfort persecuted Catholics in Central Vietnam.
