Our Lady of Salvation (Spanish: Nuestra Señora de Salvación), also known as Our Lady of Light, is a Catholic title of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The devotion to Our Lady of Salvation is based on a wooden statue of the Virgin Mary that was first venerated in Joroan (now part of Tiwi, Albay) in the Philippines.
The image was canonically crowned 25 August 1976 by Cardinal Jaime Sin. The former Bishop of Legazpi, Teotimo Pacis y Cruel declared the image as the patroness of Albay province.[1][2]
