Devotees at the Sto. Niño Minor Basilica

Sto. Niño devotees venerating the image at the Basilica

Especially on the month of January wherein the third Sunday of the month is the feast of the Sto. Niño, many devotees come to the shrine to pray

I was at the Minor Basilica of the Sto. Niño yesterday afternoon to take images of people venerating the image of the Holy Child for a writer friend’s article at a local news daily. Especially that the icon’s feastday is near, devotees visiting the shrine are expected to surge and culminates on the 17th of January.

The Filipino’s devotion to the Sto. Niño de Cebu is one of Catholic Philippines cherished religious tradition and is being celebrated in many parts of the country on the 3rd Sunday of the month. Check out my post about the devotion in langyaw.com.
