ULOG 18: We went to Basilica del Santo Niño

The Basílica Minore del Santo Niño de Cebú (Minor Basilica of the Holy Child of Cebú) commonly known as the Santo Niño Basilica, is a minor basilica in Cebu City in the Philippines that was founded in the 1565 by Fray Andrés de Urdaneta, O.S.A. and Fray Diego de Herrera, O.S.A.. 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.[1] When Pope Paul VI made the church a basilica in 1965, he declared it to be "the symbol of the birth and growth of Christianity in the Philippines."

Me together with @steembytes went to Basilica del Santo Niño yesterday, July 13, 2018. Actually, going here is unplanned since our class start at 7:00 in the morning and will end at exactly 1:30 in the afternoon. I decide and asked @steembytes to go to Sto. Niño Basilica since I want to attend the mass but unfortunately when we went there, the mass has not yet started and we have to go home early because it's harder to go home because there are a lot of people waiting for the jeepneys and we find it so hard to ride.

We light a candle. I hope that God will always guide me and give me light towards the predicaments that I will be encountering someday. I hope that he will equip me enough power to be valiant.

We also toss a coin into the wishing well. We wished that all our wishes will become true.

We also went to Magellan's Cross. A lot of tourists visit there most especially the chinese people together with their tourist guide.

I really love to attend mass in Sto. Niño but it's hard for me to go there especially that I don't have service. How I wish I could.
