Our Lady of Caysasay is a Marian statue venerated at the Archdiocesan Shrine of Our Lady of Caysasay in Taal, Batangas. The image depicting the Immaculate Conception is believed to be one of the oldest in the country. It was found in 1603 by a man named Juan Maningcad while casting his net in the nearby Pansipit River. The miracles and healing attributed by the followers and devotees through the intercession of the Virgin of Casaysay since then, still continues to this day.
The image was canonically crowned in 1954 and was later given the title "Queen of the Archdiocese of Lipa". The feast day of Our Lady of Caysasay is celebrated every December 8 and 9. The image spend half of her week in the Shrine of Caysasay and half of her week at the Basilica de San Martin de Tours to satisfy the need of the locals and devotees.
You can actually hit the back of the church wherein there is this called "Pahalikan". It is where you can actually touch the statue and say a prayer then after that you can also buy religious items afterwards.
