N1  - The Sack of Manila by the British in 1762 left the church in direst conditions and the image, divested of its costliest jewels. Moreover, the British soldiers cut off the head of the mother and the arm of the child, vestiges of which are still evident on the virgin''s neck and the child''s arm today. Two years later, solemn rites were held at the Santo Domingo Church as an act of reparation for the profanation of the image.  See "Landmarks of Manila" by Visitacion de la Torre
