Santo Niño (Spanish for “Holy Child”) refers to the devotional image of the Child Jesus, most famously the one found in Cebu, Philippines, which marks the start of Christianity in the country.
Symbolizing innocence, humility, and God’s accessible love, celebrated with massive festivals like Sinulog and seen in countless Filipino homes and churches as a patron of protection and a source of profound faith.
Viva Senior Santo Niño! Happy fiesta!
