Welcome to **DHONGDS ARCHIVES**! In this episode, we take you on a historical and spiritual journey through two of Cebu’s most iconic landmarks: the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño and Magellan’s Cross.
*Basilica Minore del Santo Niño:*
Discover the oldest Roman Catholic church in the Philippines, founded in 1565. This basilica is home to the revered image of the Santo Niño, a symbol of faith and devotion for millions of Filipinos. We'll explore the beautiful architecture, the serene atmosphere inside the basilica, and the bustling Pilgrim Center and courtyard. Learn about the vibrant Sinulog Festival, an annual celebration honoring the Santo Niño with colorful parades and traditional dances.
*Magellan’s Cross:*
Just a short walk from the basilica, we visit Magellan’s Cross, a significant historical landmark planted by Portuguese and Spanish explorers in 1521. This cross marks the introduction of Christianity in the Philippines. We'll take you inside the small chapel housing the cross, where you can see the mural depicting the historic event of Magellan's arrival and the first baptism in the Philippines.
