Santo Niño Church Tour, Cebu, Philippines.
The Basílica Menor del Santo Niño de Cebú is commonly known as the Santo Niño Basilica. It was founded in the 1565 and is the oldest Roman Catholic church in the country, it is built on the spot where the image of the Santo Niño de Cebú was found during the expedition of Miguel López de Legazpi. The icon, a statuette of the Child Jesus, is the same one presented by Ferdinand Magellan to the chief consort of Rajah Humabon upon the royal couple's christening on April 14, 1521. It was found by a soldier named Juan de Camuz forty years later, preserved in a wooden box, after Legazpi had razed a local village.
