The official marker by the Historical Research and Markers Committee, the precursor of what is now the National Historical Institute. The logo used is still that of the Commonwealth as the marker was installed in 1937.
The marker bearing the story of the Marian statue - one of many to cross the Pacific from Mexico. In fact, the image went back and forth many times during the famous Galleon Trade thus the title Buen Viaje (good voyage).
A copy of the original stands in the garden for easy veneration by an adoring public.
