The world-famous "Saint Infant Statue" is located in the Cathedral of the Holy Infant. In 1565, Cebu was engulfed by war, and a fire razed Cebu to the ground, but only this "Saint Infant Statue" was intact, so the locals put it on the ground. Take it as a miracle. The icon is now kept in the convent of the church, and a replica with gold and precious stones is placed in the temple for sacrificial use only. This 40-centimeter-high wooden "young Jesus Christ" is known as an ancient icon in the Philippines, and many locals or tourists come to worship and pray.

Quite grand. Don't think that the Holy Child is the one in the Holy Child Cathedral. Looking at the sights of Cebu, you will find the presence of the Holy Child. Above the gates of Fort San Pedro. It is said that the Holy Child Church was bombed during World War II, but the Holy Child was unscathed. Locals have since regarded the holy baby as their protector. Cebu has many shops and stalls selling the holy baby, red clothes represent "ask for blessings", green clothes represent "ask for fortune", yellow clothes represent "ask for love".
The statue of the Holy Child is hidden in a prayer room in Cebu's Cathedral. The church is large in size and you can see the public area and office area and the small garden behind the main church, but we did not find the statue.
A place of worship..
History of the Cradle of Christianity here in Cebu with the Image of the Blessed Sr. Sto Niño. This year marks as the 500 years since the image arrives in the Philippine archipelago.
The church is located opposite the city hall. Although it is not magnificent, it feels very unrich on the humanistic level. The church has been through the storm and rain for many times and has been repaired. The local people took a long line and waited quietly for prayer. And the moment they look at us, we will smile very tacitly, which may be the power of the mind.
Cebu has a grand day in late January. It includes the city gates above Fort San Pedro. It is said that the Church of the Holy Child was bombed during World War II, but the Holy Child was unscathed. Since then, local people have regarded the Holy Child as their protector. Cebu has many shops and stalls selling the icon of the Holy Child, red clothes represent "ask for blessings", green clothes represent "ask for fortune", yellow clothes represent "ask for love".
