ο»ΏThe Miraculous Sto Nino de Cebu
ο»ΏIn the year 1521, a fleet of Spanish ships led by Ferdinand Magellan arrived on the shores of Cebu, Philippines, to spread Christianity to the island. As part of this mission, Magellan presented Queen Juana with a small yet exquisitely crafted wooden statue of the Child Jesus known as the STO Nino.
Decades later, in 1565, another Spanish expedition led by Miguel Lopez de Legaspi arrived in Cebu. By this time relations between the Spaniards and the Cebuanos had sourced. The Spaniards launched an attack on the settlement, setting it ablaze. Amidst the chaos a soldier discovered a small wooden box in the ruins of a charred house. Inside, untouched by the fire was the IMAGE OF THE STO NINO.
The Miraculous survival of the statue was seen as a sign of divine protection. Legaspi declared it A HOLY RELIC and the Spaniards built a church on the very site where it was found. This church, the BASILICA MINOR DEL SANTO NINO, became the center of devotion of the Child Jesus.
In time, the Santo Nino was declared as Patron Saint of Cebu City, each January, the people of Cebu hold the GRAND SINULOG FESTIVAL TO HONOR THE SANTO NINO
through parades, dances and fervent prayers.
