Zamboanga is a Catholic shrine erected in 1910 to the [[Mary]] on Mindanao, which is a southern island in the Philippines. Christians would pray at this shrine to seek divine intervention in their ongoing struggle with the Moslem Moros, who lived nearby in Zamboanga.

Each year the Moros would choose someone to infiltrate the crowd of Christian worshipers who gathered around the shrine on a holy day, in order to kill as many Christians as possible.<ref>John A. Hardon, S.J., ''Modern Catholic Dictionary'', p. 573 (1980).</ref> The chosen Moros would then accept death himself if captured.
