The Bell of San Miguel Minor Basilica
This is one of the biggest bell that can be found in philippine churches.According to some historians, the bell was used in the spanish era for welcoming visitors from the spanish Galleon. The sound of the bell was loud enough to be heard by visitors in the Tayabas Port ( now lucena port ). I took this photo sometime in 1993.
The Basilica Seal
This sign can only be seen in basilica churches in the philippines . This seal only proves that not only filipinos are recognizing this church, also the Vatican in Rome.The chucrch was declared as a Minor Basilica last Jan 21, 1986. I took this photo sometime in 1993.
