The museum's exhibits provide a fascinating glimpse into the history and significance of the Santo Nino. Visitors can admire beautifully crafted statues, ancient relics, and religious artworks. The artifacts on display highlight the deep-rooted devotion and religious fervor of the Filipino people.

When I went here, I was given an opportunity to learn more why Sto. Niño is unconditionally loved by many. I was amazed how well preserved the clothings of Sr. Sto. Niño, all the way from the 1700. I saw also the letters sent to him by his devotees which was full of gratitude to him in continuously blessing their lives.

Sto Nino is the image of baby Jesus. This is the main patron Saint of Cebu City where they will held a Festival called Sinulog. It is celebrated every January.
When you will go to Sto. Nino, please make sure not to wear shorts or any sexy clothing for your to go inside.
Over All, it was a holistic experience to be there.

It is located around the Santo Nino Basilica. It is a small museum that displays the beautiful vestments and jewelries that were represented to be donated by people whose prayers via the intercession of Sanyo Nino were granted.

In 1565, the oldest church in the Philippines built under the rule of Spain. The Santo Niño statue (Young Jesus statue) that Magellan gave to the Queen Fana is included. This statue was worshiped as a guardian god of Cebu because it was intact even in the battle, and today many people are praying. The church was destroyed twice, and the current building was rebuilt in 1740. Every Sunday in January, a Santo Niño festival "Sinurog" is held, showing a tremendous bustle.

Here in Basilica del Sto. Niño museum you can read the many claimed miracles it performed for the needy people. Many pictures in the past were preserved that has write-ups about the patron Saint. It is a must-visit place to go if you claimed to have visited Sto. Nino Church.

Very nice old church worth a visit while on Mactan Island. Not far from the Airport and not hard to get to it.

Magnificent .. so beautiful old Cathedral built in 1565. It's fascinating to see collections of Sto Niño customs,antique objects are on display like ceremonial capes and jewelries, furnitures, priests vestments. This Church museum showcases the history of Christianity in Cebu.

The museum has an interesting display of memorabilia which includes the garments and other things used by the priests during the Spanish time. It also had some very old documents dating back to the Spanish time. It was interesting to read the stories of people whose prayers were answered by the Sto. Nino.
