Featured Term (selected at random):
A center of Marian devotion on Mindanao, a souther island of the Philippines. Our Lady's white shrine was part of the fortress wall of the town. Christians would come to pray at this shrine to invoke Mary's help to subdue the fierce hatred of the Moslem Moros who lived near Zamboanga. These natives sent each year a chosen Moro into the Christian crowd that came to celebrate their holy day near the shrine, commissioning him to kill as many Christians as he could, being ready to die himself as a result of his act if captured. The shrine, now a place of special devotion in the Archdiocese of Zamboanga, was erected in 1910.

Catholic Word of the Day Ping!
If you aren’t on this Catholic Word of the Day Ping list and would like to be, please send me a FReepmail.
Mindanao is still heavily Moslem. Both Catholic and Protestant Christians are regularly attacked.
“Oh, the monkeys have no tails in Zamboanga,
Oh, the monkeys have no tails in Zamboanga,
Oh, the monkeys have no tails,
They were bitten off by whales,
Oh, the monkeys have no tails in Zamboanga.”
And I thought Zamboanga was just made up. Learn somethin’ new every day.
I saw a movie once where an old sailor from the 1800s was singing “Oh, the monkeys have no tails in Zamboanga”.
Wonder if that song was actually a swipe at the muslims who lived there, or if there are really tail-less monkeys there.
I think that was from the John Wayne/Lee Marvin movie, “Donovan’s Reef.”
Yes, it was. Cesar Romero is also in it, and Dorothy Lamour. It’s one of our favorites for miserably cold evenings.
