Minor Basilica of the Holy Child
Minor Basilica of the Holy Child, Roman Catholic basilica in Cebu City, Philippines
The Minor Basilica of the Holy Child stands as a religious center with a central chapel housing the venerated Santo Niño statue from 1521.
Founded in 1565 as the first Roman Catholic church in the Philippines, the current baroque structure dates from 1737 after previous buildings burned down.
The Sinulog Festival, centered around the Santo Niño statue, brings together thousands of participants each January for religious celebrations and street performances.
The basilica includes a pilgrim center that accommodates 3,500 people, with outdoor masses occurring on Sundays and Fridays when streets close to vehicles.
The basement museum displays centuries-old artifacts, liturgical items, and historical documents chronicling the Santo Niño devotion through generations.
