Sto. Nino of Cebu

Image
Cebu's tradition of doing the street dancing every year in the 3rd week Sunday of January is rooted from the Senor Sto. Nino image of child Jesus.  This street dancing tradition is called Sinulog which means "like water current movement".  It has been said that the reason behind Cebu's safety against natural calamities is the child Jesus Senor Sto. Nino.  History of the miraculous image can be further viewed in this link : http://www.santoninogodevotion.org/history.htm The picture below is the inside of the Basilica Minore del Santo Nino which is a 16th century church in Cebu City Philippines.   This is the Basilica itself where people will crowd to say prayers and petitions usually in Tuesdays and Fridays and specially during Sinulog day itself .    Below is the Magellan's Cross way back in 1521.   ..... and the most important thing is the image of the child Jesus Senor Santo Nino....  Senor Santo Nino.... a miraculous image of Cebu....

Ziplining at Doce Pares in Busay Lahug

Image
Last Tuesday, March 5, 2011 we went to the zip lining area at Doce Pares in Busay Lahug.  We rode a motor cyle called "habal habal" and we toke an almost 30 minutes of travel from JY Square Lahug Cebu City, to the place which is the route on going to Tops.  At first I was not thrilled about the place since I was not able to see on where we were going to ride on the zip lining.  When we finally decided to take the long zip lining instead of just the short one and we ascended on the stairs, that was the time that I felt a little nervous.  I felt a little calm when we were shown on how to wear the harness with the helmet.  During our time to take the ride I was kind of hesitant but I just kept on thinking that when others can do it why can't I.  The next part that we did was to cross on the other side of the hill either only on a wire or on a wooden foot path but with a harness attached on the rope that we can grasp to hold on balance.  This is a little...

Redemptorist Church

Image
Redemptorist Church is where most of the Roman Catholic weddings were held not because of the accessibility of this church when you are living within the city but every wedding needs to be solemn.  It is located in Cebu City itself.  Inside of this church you can see in the middle of the altar the picture of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Myself as a raised Roman Catholic  Christian , I can say that this place is worth a visit specially during Sundays where masses were held as scheduled. At the center you can see the framed image of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Last July 16, 2011, I was accompanying my parents in this church since my father was one of the wedding sponsor and he is the godfather of the bride. The time of the wedding was at 11 am and the reception followed at the Beverly View in Lahug Cebu City. "They were chitchatting before the wedding ceremony" As you can see in these pictures, this church can compete with the Big Ben in London (I guess so).  We...
