Quick Overview

The popular devotion to the Santo Niño de Cebu is the single religious devotion of greatest historical significance in the Philippines. The Feast of the Santo Niño is the fullest published account of the history of the devotion. It does not only fill important gaps in this history, it locates the story within the context of the evolution of Cebuano society itself. It is thus also an introduction to the history of Cebu, as seen through the prism of a religious devotion.
