You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Santa Marian Kamalen''' also known as '''Our Lady of Camarin''' and informally known as '''Dulce Nombre''' ''(English: Sweet Name)'' is a title of the [[Blessed Virgin Mary]] associated with a carved [[Molave tree|molave]] wood and [[ivory]] image venerated by the [[Roman Catholic]] faithful in [[Guam]] as their [[Patroness]].<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.catholicsandcultures.org/feasts-holy-days/santa-marian-kamalen-guam|title=Feast of Santa Marian Kamalen honors Guam's patroness|last=Landy|first=Thomas|date=2018-04-30|website=Catholics & Cultures|language=en|access-date=2019-05-09))</ref>

The image is known to have escaped the [[Japan]]ese war and [[Battle of Guam (1941)|bombing of Guam]] on 8 December 1941, the [[Feast of the Immaculate Conception]]. It is permanently enshrined at the [[Dulce Nombre de Maria Cathedral Basilica|Minor Basilica of the Most Sweet Name of Mary]].<ref>((cite web |url=http://ns.gov.gu/kamalen.html |title=Legend of Guam SANTA MARIAN KAMALEN |accessdate=2006-12-07 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20061208040819/http://ns.gov.gu/kamalen.html |archivedate=2006-12-08 ))</ref>

== History ==
((Refimprovesection|date=May 2019))
Pious legends claim that the image was brought by [[Spaniards]] through the [[Galleon]] ship ''Nuestra Señora del Pilar de Zaragoza y Santiago'' which was shipwrecked on 2 June 1690 at the [[Cocos Island (Guam)|Cocos Island]] of Guam. The image is thought to have been enshrined on the ship by its sailors. 

One account of its discovery holds that a fisherman found the statue along the shore of [[Merizo]]. He saw the image accompanied by crabs with votive candles, later interpreted as miraculous by indigenous people in the area. The image later gained the title of ''Kamalen'', literally ''[[Barracks]]'' due to the image being stored in a nearby infantry compound after it was found by the fisherman.

The image measures approximately 28 inches and weighs 48 pounds. The image is composed of [[polychrome]]d Molave wood and [[ivory]] head and hands and wears a wig of human hair. Caretakers of the image rescued the statue on 8 December 1941 at the beginning of the [[Second World War]], when the image was hidden for safekeeping. The image was enshrined at the cathedral again on 8 December 1945, on the [[Feast of the Immaculate Conception]].

In 1948, the image was brought to the [[Philippines]] for professional restoration by renowned Filipino [[Santo (art)|Santero]] artist Máximo Vicente, who also restored the [[Black Nazarene]] of [[Quiapo, Manila|Quiapo]].

Popular legends also recount the image surviving the 1902 earthquake in Guam, which destroyed the shrine and many statues within the church but left the image intact.

==Veneration==
[[File:Santa Marian Kamalen Day.jpg|thumb|Statue of Santa Marian Kamalen on Santa Marian Kamalen Day at Dulce Nombre de Maria Cathedral Basilica, December 8, 2022]]
The image was stolen on three separate occasions: 19 May 1968, 3 May 1971 and 28 December 1992; yet later returned.  A replica is enshrined for public veneration at the main church, while the original ivory statue is enshrined above the high altar.((Citation needed|date=May 2019))

Today, the image is suspended above the high altar with no possibility of reaching it from the sides. A digital alarm is installed on its pedestal which is accompanied by the main caretaker of the image. Behind its niche are three panels of locked doors, accessible only by a staircase through the old rectory entrance.

[[Pope John Paul II]] mentioned the image on 22 February 1981 during his Apostolic visit.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://w2.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/es/speeches/a1981/february/documents/hf_jp-ii_spe_19810222_guam-clero.html|title=Address of the Holy Father John Paul II to the Clergy and the Religious|date=February 22, 1981|website=The Vatican|access-date=2019-05-08))</ref> A replica image was installed at the [[Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception]] in [[Washington D.C.|Washington, D.C.]], on 17 September 2006.
