VIVA! PIT SENYOR!
Today we celebrate the feast of Señor Sto. Niño, the Holy Child Jesus, the oldest and most beloved Christian image in the Philippines. The Sto. Niño reminds us of God’s humble love shown in the innocence and simplicity of a child.
This devotion began in 1521 when the image was given to Queen Juana by Ferdinand Magellan, marking the beginning of Christianity in our country. Since then, Filipinos have honored the Sto. Niño as a symbol of hope, trust, and God’s abiding presence in our lives.
As we celebrate, we are called to renew our childlike faith, to trust in God completely, and to live with humility, joy, and obedience to His will. The Sto. Niño teaches us that true greatness is found in love and simplicity.
