Pictures i took when i went to Cebu's very own Sr. Sto. Niño.
The Santo Niño was long considered to be the patron "saint" of Cebu. However, the Santo Niño is a representation of Jesus Christ as a child. The Catholic Church in the Philippines sets the Holy Child as an example of humility and as a celebration of the Incarnation. Many Cebuano's do not consider the Christmas Season over until the Feast of the Santo Niño. The local feast is celebrated every 3nd Sunday of January. The Sinulog festival is one of the grandest and most colorful festivals in the Philippines.
