History of the Santo Niño de Cebu

On April 28, 1565, Juan Camus, a sailor in the fleet of Miguel Lopez de Legaspi,found in a modest house of the then village of Cebu the image of the Santo Niño,which at the time all agreed had been brought from Europe. Deeply impressed bythis finding and aware of its significance, Legaspi ordered an official inquiryconducted; the document drawn on May 16 of the same year and still extant in thearchives of the Santo Niño Convent of Cebu, tells us from the testimony ofeyewitnesses that the Image was found inside a small pine box, preserved inalmost perfect condition; it had on a little shirt and cap; two of its right hand'sfingers were raised in a gesture of blessing, while the left hand held a globesymbolizing the world.

In a solemn procession the image was carried to the provisional Church the Agustinian Fathers were using at the time; later, another Church was built on theexact location where the image has been found; this is the site of the Santo NiñoChurch where the Agustinians have cared for the image and the Filipino people

have venerated it through the centuries.

An earlier authenticated entry in the journal of Pigafetta, clerk in the Magellanexpedition, explains the origins of Santo Niño; on the day Queen Juana wasbaptized by Father Pedro Valderrama, chaplain on that expedition, Pigafettahimself presented her with the Image.

During the last World War, a bomb fell inside the church, but the image was foundunscathed. It was one of the numberless miracles and powers attributed to theHoly Image.

In 1965 the interior of the historic church was renovated for the observance of theFourth Centennial of the Christianization of the Philippines held in Cebu City. Itwas during this centennial celebration that the church, on April 1, 1965, waselevated to the rank of Basilica Minore by the Sacred Congregation of Rites withall the rights and privileges accruing to such title.

With the full cooperation and support of the Filipino people and sanctioned by theNational Historical Commission of the Philippines, the Agustinian Fathers havebuilt a marble chapel inside the Basilica. Construction of the chapel started in August 1975. This fitting shrine of Santo Niño now serves as the center ofdevotion of Catholic Philippines. Here the miraculous image of the Comforter ofthe first missionaries and now the Patron of the Philippines is being honored andvenerated.

“Santo Niño de Cebu Mass” (E. Perez, OSA; S. Escurra, OSA)

Sound your trumpets all His angels,Spell His name all stars ablazeThunder glory all clouds in heaven,

Ring all creatures loud His praise.

Refrain:Viva Sto. Niño! Pit Senyor! Viva Sto. Niño! Pit Senyor!Viva Sto. Niño! Pit Senyor! Viva Sto. Niño! Pit Senyor!

Tell His might all winds and forests,Sing His marvels birds and springs.Trace His path, sun, moon, stars and comets,Give Him thanks all vales and hills.

THE HISTORY OF THE HAMPTON ROADS STO NIÑO NOVENA ANDFIESTA

In 1992, three ladies from Cebu and Bohol: Arlene Fronteras, Cynthia Dumadag,and Luz Ceniza, arrived in Hampton Roads via New York, bringing with them theirdeep faith and love for the Santo. Niño de Cebu. They started the 9-day novena indifferent homes throughout Virginia Beach. By 2000, the celebration had grown toolarge to be held in the various homes so this was moved to the San Lorenzo SpiritualCenter which had been built largely through the efforts of the Cebuano SpeakingAssociation of Tidewater and its members. For the first time, we had a large enough

venue to also hold our own version of the Sinulog which is an important part of theCebu celebration to honor the Sto Niño.

In late 2014, the CSAT’s Spiritual Director, the Reverend Father Leo Manalo, was

laicized by the Diocese of Richmond and as a sign of support, love, respect andadmiration for his many contributions to the organization and the faith community ofHampton Roads, the novena and fiesta were moved from the San Lorenzo SpiritualCenter to the parish churches in the community. In 2015, this was held at the Churchof the Ascension and the 2016 novena and fiesta is now being celebrated at theChurch of the Holy Family on Great Neck Road in Virginia Beach.

Our pilgrimage in honor of our beloved Sto. Nino de Cebu continues! May the future

hold the promise of peace and harmony through our devotion to His Holy Name!

Amahan namo, nga anaa sa mga langit,Pagdaygon ang Imong Ngalan.Moabot kanamo ang Imong gingharian,Matuman ang Imong pagbuot,Dinhi sa yuta maingon sa langit.Ang kalan-on namo sa matag adlaw,Ihatag kanamo karong adlawa,Ug pasayloa kami sa among mga sala,Ma-ingon nga kami nagapasaylo sa mga nakasala kanamo,Ug dili mo kami itugyan sa mga panulay,Hinonoa luwasa kami sa ka-dautan.
