#SpiritualSunday: Santo Niño de Cebu (Final Part III) The Feast Day The feast, locally known as Fiesta Señor, starts on the Thursday after the Solemnity of the Epiphany. Each year, the celebration starts with a dawn procession wherein the replica image of Santo Niño de Cebú is brought down to the streets. It is then followed by the novena Masses, which span nine days. On the last day of the novena, another dawn procession is held wherein the image of Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe de Cebú is removed from its shrine and brought to the Basílica Menor. After the procession, it will stay for a while in the Basilica. Then, the images of Santo Niño de Cebu and Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe de Cebú are brought to the National Shrine of St. Joseph in Mandaue City to be reunited with the icon of the church's namesake, thus forming the Holy Family. This transfer, which is common in fiestas throughout the country, is called Traslación. On the morning of the vísperas ("eve" in English the day before) of the feast, the images of Santo Niño de Cebu and Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe de Cebú are brought back to Cebu City in a fluvial procession that concludes with a reenactment of the first Mass and baptism in the islands. It is then followed by a grand yet solemn foot procession in the afternoon, culminating in a Pontifical Mass concelebrated by bishops and priests. The grand Sinulog Festival is then held on the following Sunday. #pitsenior #pitsenyor #santoniño #santoniñodecebu #feastday #SpiritualSunday #Spiritual #Spirituality #Mystique #Spiritique #sacredmystics #catholicart #catholicculture #catholiceducation #catholique #catholiques #romancatholic #romancatholicchurch #catholicmystics #catholicworld #intothemystic #catholic #catholicism #contemplate #Mindfulness #tradition #traditional #traditionalvibes https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnb9EsVSr_p/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#SpiritualSunday: Santo Niño de Cebu (Part II) The Santo Niño de Cebú was originally produced by Flemish artisans, according to a hagiography, based on a vision of Teresa of Ávila, the 16th century Discalced Carmelite mystic. In early 1521, a Spanish expedition ordered by King Charles V and led by Ferdinand Magellan was on a voyage from Spain to find a westward route to the Spice Islands. After crossing the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, in April 7, 1521, they landed in Limasawa, Southern Leyte, and met a local ruler named Raja Kulambu, who introduced him to Rajah Humabon, ruler of Cebu Island, and his chief consort, Hara Humamay. On April 14 1521, Magellan presented them with three gifts: a bust of Christ as the Ecce Homo, an image of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the Santo Niño as part of their baptism and strategic alliance. As Humabon adopted the Catholic faith, he took the Christian name of "Carlos" (after Charles V), while Humamay was christened "Juana" (after Joanna of Castile, Charles' mother). According to Antonio Pigafetta – Magellan's memoir writer, along with the ruler, about 500 males along with the Queen and 40 women were also converted by Father Valderrama. At the ceremony, Raja Kulambu of Limawasa also converted and was given the name Don "Juan", while his Muslim captain was named Don "Cristobal" #pitsenior #pitsenyor #santoniño #santoniñodecebu #feastday #SpiritualSunday #Spiritual #Spirituality #Mystique #Spiritique #sacredmystics #catholicart #catholicculture #catholiceducation #catholique #catholiques #romancatholic #romancatholicchurch #catholicmystics #catholicworld #intothemystic #catholic #catholicism #contemplate #Mindfulness #tradition #traditional #traditionalvibes https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnb8vyqy6XR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#SpiritualSunday: Santo Niño de Cebu (Part I) The Santo Niño de Cebú is a Roman Catholic title of the Child Jesus associated with a religious image of the Christ Child widely venerated as miraculous by Filipino Catholics. It is the oldest Christian artifact in the Philippines, originally a gift from the Spaniard Conquistador Ferdinand Magellan to Rajah Humabon (baptized as Carlos) and his wife and chief consort, Reyna Humamay (baptized as Juana) on account of their Christian baptism in 1521. The dark wood statue measures approximately twelve inches tall, and carved in the Flemish style. It depicts the Child Jesus, with a serene countenance, in the attitude and dress of a Spanish monarch. The statue bears imperial regalia, including a golden crown, globus cruciger, and various sceptres, wears fine vestments, and possesses jewelry mostly offered by devotees over several centuries. Pope Paul VI granted a decree of Canonical Coronation titled Cunabula Religionis on February 27, 1964, which the coronation was executed on April 28, 1965. The same Pontiff later raised its shrine to the status of Minor Basilica on May 2, 1965, via his Papal bull Ut Clarificetur to mark the fourth centenary of Christianity in the Philippine Islands. The image is replicated in various parts of the country with different titles and is one of the most beloved and recognizable Filipino cultural icons. The annual dancing feast of Sinulog is held on the 3rd Sunday of January every year in its honor. Today, the original image is permanently encased behind bulletproof glass inside its chapel within the Basilica del Santo Niño. The Santo Niño de Cebú was originally produced by Flemish artisans, according to a hagiography, based on a vision of Teresa of Ávila, the 16th century Discalced Carmelite mystic. #pitsenior #pitsenyor #santoniño #santoniñodecebu #feastday #SpiritualSunday #Spiritual #Spirituality #Mystique #Spiritique #sacredmystics #catholicart #catholicculture #catholiceducation #catholique #catholiques #romancatholic #romancatholicchurch #catholicmystics #catholicworld #intothemystic #catholic #catholicism #contemplate #Mindfulness #tradition #traditional #traditionalvibes https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnb8VCRy6Rn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

And he said: “Amen I say to you, unless you change and become like little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever will have humbled himself like this little child, such a one is greater in the kingdom of heaven. -Matthew 18: 3-4 Viva Pit Senior Santo Niño!
