𝗣𝗜𝗧 𝗦𝗘𝗡𝗬𝗢𝗥 | Today in time, the image of the Santo Niño was found amid a village in flames. On Saturday, April 28, 1565, a soldier of the armada, Juan de Camus, discovered the sacred image.

“On Easter Sunday, April 28 [1565], Legazpi ordered the ships’ artillery to fire. The natives fled to the mountains. He landed in Cebu and found an empty burned town. Inside a poor nipa house, Juan Camus, a sailor of the fleet, found the statuette of the Santo Niño, the image that arrived here with Magellan and was presented by Pigafetta to the Queen of Cebu when she turned Christian. The finding of the Santo Niño, fired the Augustinians’ hope and courage in their mission of Christianizing the Filipinos. Since then, they spread the devotion to the Santo Niño to various parts of the islands.”
