Our Lady of Salambáo (Spanish: Nuestra Señora de la Inmaculada Concepción de Salambáo; Tagalog: Mahal na Birhen ng Salambáo or Birheng ng Salambáw) is a Catholic title of the Blessed Virgin Mary venerated in Obando, Bulacan, Philippines. The Virgin Mary under this title is venerated as the local patroness of fishing, owing to the image's discovery in a salambáw, a type of big fishing net supported by bamboo crosspieces and mounted on a raft.[1]
The image is enshrined with Saint Clare of Assisi and Saint Paschal Baylon inside Obando Church. The three saints form a triad that is the focus of the annual Obando Fertility Rites held from 17 to 19 May.[2]
