Being raised in a Born Again Christian family, I have little to no information about Sto. Nino. After watching this episode, I was able to know the explanations behind the celebrations of these festivals. I learned not only about Sto. Nino's religious and spiritual value, but also its historical relevance. Thank you Sir Danny for this information.
As a Roman Catholic, I have observed how people value and have faith in the Sto. Niño. Through this video, I have learned that even before, stories of miracles are famous about the Sto. Niño as well as how the image was used in rituals. The significance of the Sto. Niño in religious aspect and how it was bound on the history of the Philippines was discussed clearly. I am happy to know that it continues to affect the lives of the Filipinos positively, so thank you for the effort to share this with us.
Watching the video made me realize the connection of Sto. Niño with our history, the video tackled about the origin of Sto. Niño de Cebu and how it shaped our culture as a religious country.
This video allowed me to understand the meaning of Sto. Niño for us Filipinos and how He was brought here in the Philippines. This video also showed how dedication to this iconic religious piece began. Big thank you Sir Danny for the episode, I learned a lot.
As a Catholic and as student, I highly appreciated this because it gave emphasis to St. Nino. It contributed to the history of the Philippines. The 500 years of devotion is something that we must be proud of.
Growing up from a religious family, Santo Nino is believed to be the baby Jesus that we should pray for before leaving the house. We also offer food and milk on our Santo Nino statue every week. With the help of this archive, I was able to understand the origin of Santo Nino. I have also realized how Magellan used religion to manipulate the people. The influence of the Spaniards on the beliefs of the people is dominating seeing as there are Santo Nino statues in almost all Filipino households. Thank you Sir Danny for this video.
It is fascinating how our ancestors practiced rituals before and believed the image of Sto. Niño is miraculous. Many Filipinos placed importance on this event which is evident until today as we continuously celebrate the Sinulog Festival in Cebu. This celebration allows us to commemorate the birth of Christianity in our country, as well as honor the first known statue of baby Jesus. Thank you again for this video, Sir Danny!
This video taught me how important this relic is. Sto. Niño is not only some relic that we, the Catholics, look up to, but a part of a historical event. Thank you so much, Sir Danny, for giving us a glimpse of the importance and origin of Sto. Niño.
Growing up in a religious family, the image of Sto. Niño has always been part of our lives. I've always seen Sto. Nio figures inside our house, as well as the homes of my relatives and friends. However, I was unfamiliar with its origins and history. And as I listen to the stories about the Sto. Niño fascinated me because it not only strengthens our spiritual beliefs but also broadens our understanding of our early culture, traditions, and habits. Through this video, I realized its profound significance to every Filipino. Not only does it symbolize Christianity's arrival in the Philippines, but it is also a reminder of how strong our faith was even before we were officially introduced to Christianity.
Sir Danny’s videos are always filled with new trivias and information and I would like to thank him and his team for their amazing videos. As a catholic, I only knew little about the history of the Sto. Nino and why it was widely known and celebrated through out our country. Thanks to this video, I now understand the significance of the Sto. Nino and its vital role in shaping our history and culture.
Thank you, Sir Danny, for another interesting video that captivates the attention of the many! The essentiality of Sto Niño was emphasized in the entirety of the clip. It has aided in a great contribution to our academic field. As a Roman Catholic, I am well-aware of Sto Niño's image, but not his true persona. Watching the whole clip has made me realize the significance of Sto Niño - he is someone who is regarded as someone who is an embodiment of the people's religiousness. He has truly enriched the history of Catholicism in such a way that he brought miracles of the past, particularly in Cebu. He was addressed as a "diwata" for he brings rain every time the people would ask for rainfall. As a result, we celebrate the miracles and enrichments through major events like the Feast of Santo Niño, Sinulog festival, and other celebrations or colorful parades. Relaying information on historical events like this would not be possible without the help of various historical materials. For me, despite one's religious affiliation, Sto Niño will remain significant to the lives of every Filipino as it has showcased a unique identity to our country. As we commemorate the 500th year of the beginning of Christianity in our country, this video was necessary for the further knowledge of the many.
It is very enlightening to get to know the origin of one of the most celebrated image of faith in the Philippines. The fact that we were able to preserve the belief of our ancestors, even after hundreds of years, is quite captivating to think of. Thank you for this opportunity, Sir!
This is yet another video that has enlightened me with facts about the Sto. Niño from our history. The Sto Niño has a very large impact on the culture and the spiritual lives of the Filipinos and hearing about the miracle stories and the historical facts about it is very interesting. Thank you sir for the very inspiring and informative video since this made me realize how history is such a rich and broad topic that I get to uncover and unfold new things through research.
As a child, I was always curious who's the baby figure carrying a bag and a cross in our bedroom and I tend to question my parents why do they keep on putting coins inside His bag and why is He keep getting the coins instead of me? And why do they buy clothes in a different color for Him? But as I grew older, I slowly understand. I even think that the Sto. Niño here in our house is older than me. Today, I learned new information about Sto. Niño, its history, and its relevance to my life as I slowly comprehend the world. Because of this, I recall something when my parents asked me to bring Sto. Niño with me when I go to the church for blessing. This video enables me to learn more about Sto. Niño which we have one in our home for years and I can now share what I have learned particularly with my parents. Thank you, sir, Danny!
As a Roman Catholic, it is really nice to have additional knowledge about Sto. Nino. From how significant Sto. Nino is, to being regarded as the most iconic piece of Catholicism history, with the video explaining the history and its relevance to us Filipinos. Cultures were shaped and molded into what we have now, so thank you Sir Danny for the episode, I learned a lot of things and it was really enjoyable.
Upon watching this video, I learned and understand how important sto.niño is by being part of the expedition. But also sto.niño plays a big role in our catholic religion, and the city of Cebu as being the place who strengthens our beliefs and culture as a catholic. Thanks for sharing this video sir Danny!
From this episode of the History from the Archives, I was able to understand the significance of Sto. Niño to us Filipinos and how it became such an important part of our everyday life as Catholics. Moreover, through this video, I was able to learn its early history, its introduction to the natives by the Magellan expedition, and its survival of 44 years of hiatus of Christianity in the Philippines until discovered by the crew of the Legazpi-Urdaneta Expedition. Once again, Thank you sir Danny Gerona and HFA team for this informative video content!
Growing up in a Filipino catholic household, My family had a lot of statues of the saints here in our house. The smallest is the baby Jesus or the Sto.Nino. After watching this video, my knowledge about the cute baby Jesus was been widen. I am so grateful to know the history and the miracles that Sto. Nino did. Thank you, sir, Gerona for sharing this video with us.
Thank you Sir Danny for this episode. The image of Sto. Niño is predominant in each Filipino family which implies the control of Catholic faith in the Philippines. As I have watched this scene, it edify me on how it contributed, not exclusively to the Catholic confidence, yet in addition to our nation's way of life and history. In this manner, these realities about Sto. Niño assists me with extending my comprehension of the foundations of merriments festivity.
As I viewed this episode of history of Acrchives that tackled a brief discussion of Sto. Niño de Cebu I was delighted to be part of the viewers in a sence that this episode brings me back to the time when I was still young to shown my devotion to Mother Marry and his only begotten son Jesus as one of the Filipino Christian. This episode thought me that Sto. Niño is not just a miracolous relict in the history of Filipino Catholism but as well as its significant to the central faith of most Cebuano and for all Filipino which symbolize a powerful belief in connection to Christianity. And this episode does not tackled about the religious implication but its historic relevance to Filipino's of the present, so I highly appreciated this episode.
Images of Sto. Niño can be commonly spotted in Filipino households. In addition to this, the Sinulog Festival is commemorated in Cebu every January in honor of Sto. Niño. This goes to show how influential Sto. Niño is in the spiritual life of Filipinos. Growing up, we had an image of Sto. Niño at home in which we would hang garlands of sampaguita but I only knew so little about the Child Jesus. This video was able to deliver substantial information about the origin of the devotion to Sto. Niño and how it promulgated to the Philippines through the arrival of Magellan. I realized how much Sto. Niño shaped the history of the Philippines and how it is being honored until today. Watching this video made me appreciate Sto. Nino even more. Once again, thank you, Sir Danny and to your team for sharing with us this video.
This informative video will surely enlighten a lot of viewers about the Sto. Niño. As for me, after knowing the existence of the Sto. Niño for a very long time, it is my first time to learned that Sto. Niño was brought by Magellan here in the Philippines. It made me realized that there are still a lot of facts and information that everyone still doesn't know. I highly appreciate and commend these kind of videos of Sir Gerona as it will surely help a lot of viewers, especially Catholics who are eager to learn the history and origin of the Sto. Niño.
The rich culture and beliefs that we have now demonstrate that we have been profoundly inspired by the Spaniards, particularly in religion, and learning about the history of the Sto. Niño de Cebu has made it even more fascinating given the everlasting dedication shown to it. The miracles and legends that surround it have allowed me to comprehend and appreciate it more fully than I had anticipated. I've also discovered how deeply ingrained cultural impact on Filipinos has become.
Since we are commemorating the 500th year of the beginning of Christianity in our country, it is pivotal to dig deeper into its context. One of which is the religious icon that is being acknowledged even now- the Santo Niño. I am grateful that I was able to collect knowledge about its origin based on reliable historical sources and documentation. Thank you, Dr. Danny, for this very informative discussion.
I would like to first, thank Dr. Danny and to all the staff behind this informative episode. When I was in Elementary, I knew that the Sto. Niño was a gift of the Spaniards after the baptism of Rajah Humabon. But that was the only information I knew until today that I have watched this episode. I never thought that there was more to that story. As I continue to watch the episode I have realized how the image of Sto. Niño matters to every Christian Filipino. Through this, I’ve appreciated the image more, for it truly helped the Filipinos, especially the Christians to have a more diverse culture, a great devotion ( through miracles attributed to the image) and a stronger faith.
My mom is really one of the committed devotee of Sto. Nino since she is born in Cebu. She would always remember the feast of Sto. Nino even if she is far away from Cebu. It is always a privilege to watch every insightful video of Mr. Danny (for free) because I get to know deeper, clearly, and in detail what happened in the past. Like Sto. Nino de Cebu, I just knew that he was a child and nothing more, that is why I am thanking Mr. Danny for posting such informative videos like this. Kudos to you, Mr. Danny Gerona!
Sir Danny, thank you for your wonderful and informative video. This episode is all about Sto. Niño's roots and history. As a practicing Catholic, I acknowledge that I don't know enough about him. I only know he's a saint and I see his portrait in every house I go to. This video helps me better comprehend how he enriched our Catholic faith. People regard him as a diwata because he performs miracles and sends rain when people request it. I'm still amazed at how people cherish the saint's gift to our faith and not only make it a part of their life, but also help to recognize or appreciate our resources through festival celebrations as a way of thanking the saint. I am very happy that I watched this video because it not only enlightens me about Sto. Niño and its history but also makes me realize his contribution to the enrichment of our culture and spirituality.
I grew up familiar with the image of Sto. Niño because it hangs on every wall of our house and there’s also a small statue of it on our altar. It reflects the Catholic faith of the Filipinos which was carried by the Spaniards. In this video, I learned more about the significance if Sto. Niño in shaping our culture, religion and even tradition. The depth understanding of Christianity here in our country is still reflected because of the image of Sto. Niño that continues to connect us from the past to the present. Thank you so much Sir Danny for sharing more information!
When I was a child we used to have that image in our home and after watching the video it made me more understand the importance of the Sto. Niño de Cebu. Not only did I uncover its religious and spiritual connotations, but also its historical significance. Thank you, Sir Danny, for helping us deepen our faith through this information.

Indeed, thank you for sharing with us the early history of Sto Nino de Cebu. I'm starting to realize that there's a lot more information out there that I'm unaware of. Ultimately grateful for this platform!

Niño and its historical signicicance. It explained to us how the image had become a huge part of our belief. It is astonishing how Sto. Niño made a significant impact on the people back in the day. This allowed me to understand the religious implications of his image, making it easier for me to strengthen my Catholic beliefs. Indeed, our history is very rich and it also allowed us to understand the origins of the images we pray to. Thank you, Sir Danny, for this wonderful video content!
In this episode, I was enlighted about the significance of Sto. Niño to the culture, history, and spiritual lives of the Filipinos. Before, I was unaware of its connection with the Magellan expedition, which amazed me after watching this video. As a Catholic, I grew up seeing and hearing about Sto. Niño, but I only had a little knowledge about it. Thank you so much, Sir Danny, for sharing this new knowledge.
Popular religious saints such as the Sto. Niño are no stranger to Filipino adoration. Knowing about his background will certainly benefit us, and watching this video will aid our understanding. This video did a lot to improve our understanding by making us aware of the stories about Sto. Niño. Most of our population are Catholic, and that is why we place so much importance on this. This is such a great contribution to the academic community. Thanks to the historians, that classic and time-honored knowledge has been handed down to succeeding generations. Thank you so much, Sir!

Sto. Nino has been part of the belief culture of many Filipinos since the first time it was brought here in our country. I am not a much of a devotee of Sto. Nino, but watching this video gave me learnings on the story of its origin. I think I want to know more of Sto. Nino deeper and learn more about the significance that played a part in our history. Thank you, Sir for the new knowledge I gained.

Niño more because I was able to learn not just about its origins and religious meanings, but also about its historical value. It was wonderful to learn that Ferdinand Magellan gave birth to Christianity to us and was the one who gave the image to the Queen of Cebu as a gift for the couple. This small gift presented by Magellan to the previous rulers of Cebu has grown and made a significant impact on our Filipino identity. I am very happy to learn how the Sto.

I am now more intrigue to know more about the history of Philippines when it comes to saints, beliefs and religion.
Upon growing up in a Catholic family, we have several Sto.

Niño is in our Filipino blood because it is rooted and has a very deep historical significance, especially in certain regions here. We should acknowledge Sto.

Thank you, Sir Geron for another informative video!
Thank you, Sir, for sharing this educational film on the Sto. Nino! I feel that understanding the roots of the events we respect is critical, particularly in terms of how they are assimilated into our society. I understood how the Sto. Despite our various religious beliefs, Nino truly bonds and links us to our rich heritage. Here, that tiny present given to the past kings of Cebu has become one of the most significant personalities that may be linked to our Filipino identity.

Whenever I watch Sir Danny's episodes, I always get so amazed with the new insights I am gaining. This video tackled about Sto. Niño and I must say that admittedly, I haven't given so much attention to Sto. Niño before. The only thing I know about him is that he is a Saint and I can always see his statue in our church since I am a Roman Catholic. But with this video, I have understood and appreciated him more. He is the baby Jesus; he did not only contribute to the Catholic faith but also to the enrichment of our culture and spirituality including the festival in Cebu. Thus, it is an essential part of our history provided that its origin also came from the Magellan Expedition.

Nino was discussed and it helped me gain more knowledge and dig deeper on the motivations and implications it brought to the Philippines.

Thank you for the informative video, Sir Gerona! Sto. Nino has been a big part of my life because of growing up in a Catholic religious family. The significance and historical background of Sto. Nino is more than what I could have imagined it to be. The realization that Sto. Nino has been deeply embedded within the lives of Filipinos regardless of religion has been enlightening to know.
Ever since I was a kid, I see Sto. Niño images in almost every home of Catholic Filipinos.

Thank you, sir, for another interesting video. As far as I can remember, when I was still a child, I first met this specific Sto. Niño my grandmother had. Thank you, sir. I learned more about the infant Jesus and how this image came to the Philippines and all about his great miracles. And now I understand why Filipinos have such strong faith in Sto. Niño , as he was not just an image but also a symbol of faith and miracles ever since 500 years ago, with a significant part in the Magellan Expedition. I'm looking forward to more videos. Thank you again, sir. Viva Pit Señor!
This episode provided me with yet another lesson and realization about history and the story behind it. When I was a kid, I used to hear a lot about Sto. Niño and what he could do for us. He is known for performing miracles such as giving a child to a couple who wishes to have a child by showing devotion and believing that it will come true in due time. Growing up, I had a lot of questions about where our saints came from and how they became one of the saints that we praise and devote ourselves to as Roman Catholics, and this episode that you shared with us has given me an answer to those questions. Sir Danny, thank you very much!
I am one of those kids who grew up with a Sto. Niño statue in their household, but I was never aware of the history behind the statue. Through this video, it allows me to understand the significance and impact of the Sto. Niño. Thank you, Sir, for allowing us to learn more about the history.

Niño de Cebu.
Upon watching this video, I gained significant knowledge about the early history of the Sto. Niño. This episode specifically highlighted how the Sto. Niño came to the Philippines and the different accounts pertaining to the description of the house where it was located. In this video, I learned that the existence of the Sto. Niño in the Philippines traces back to the Magellan expedition when queen Juana begged Antonio Pigafetta to give her the little wooden boy that was held by the Virgin Mother. That request was granted and that is how the Sto. Niño came into the Philippines. In conjunction, I think that the coming of Sto. Niño in the Philippines was one of the most historical and significant events in the history of Catholicism in our country. The miracles that were shown by the Sto. Niño strengthen our faith and devotion which makes us religious beings and a Christian country. Thank you Sir Danny for sharing with us this significant information about the history of Sto. Niño.

Thank you, Sir, for making this video on the early history of Sto. Nino de Cebu, this is so interesting and enlightening. This episode made me recognize the significant importance of Christianization or Christianity in our society as Filipinos, especially when it comes to one's devotion to Santo Nino. Apart from the Catholic influence brought by the Spaniards, I've learned that our ancestors had their sacred practices related to Santo Nio. This particular scenario is significant in our history since part of our ideas about Santo Nio are based on indigenous traditions and Catholic influences.
Thank you, Sir. Danny for this informative video. While watching, I was amazed by how the Filipinos still have the faith for Sto. Niño for centuries now. The image of Sto. Niño is religiously and culturally relevant to us Filipinos and I hope that a lot of Filipinos will learn about the history of it.
From this episode, I gain so much knowledge and it enlightens me to realize the importance of the Sto. Niño de Cebu. I discover not only its origin and religious implications but, also its historical significance. As Catholics, it is important to know such details because it is part of our tradition and culture to have such devotion to the religious piece. By this, it help us deepen the faith which we have received and translate it in our love and service to others.
Back when I was in my formative years, I had this immense fascination with Christian books and Saints. I tended to collect images/relics of the latter; in which, Jesus’ pictures or any form of Sto. Niño were part of my collection. With this, I didn’t indulge myself that much in playing with toys, yet I also enjoyed those stuff. I had a happy childhood - it was not perfect but it was a wonderful childhood. And with this video presented by Sir Danny, which by the way thank you, sir, and to your team; I grasped the significance of the image, the Sto. Niño for FIlipinos, on why we revere it so much. I also became more appreciative of the thought that my parents supported my penchant for religious stuff back then because in those early years, we valued our faith eminently as Catholics, we still are, and I guess, it turned out in a good way.
When I was a kid, St. Niño has been a relevant figure in our household. Thanks to this Video, I learn more and gain new knowledge about the St. Niño. I appreciated how religious significance it was and how important the St. Niño to Filipinos.
Since I was a child I always saw images of Sto. Niño in every home even my lola had one in her home. In this video I learned how the tradition in the past 500 years ago is still observed to this day. It shows how religious Filipinos are. Thank you! Sir Gerona for this informative video.
From this episode, I gain so much knowledge about the miracles that the Sto. Niño de Cebu brought to those nations that had and have possessed it. Although it was not very certain how the Sto Niño brought here to the Philippines still there are theories that we can rely on, on how this Sto Niño was brought here. I learned that not only Filipinos have devotion for Sto. Niño but also other people in other countries, such as Mexico and Spain. Thank you sir for this wonderful information that you brought to us.
Thank you sir Danny Gerona for this informative video about The Early History of The Early History of the Sto. Nino de Cebu. The fact that even before the expedition of Magellan amazes me. Learning about this made me realize how strong Filipinos belief are.
The Filipinos had always worship and shown deep faith and devotion towards the Sto. Niño and celebrate it yearly through a festival. Through this video, I have been informed more about stories, miracles and where the Sto. Niño originated. Celebrating it was always an occasion that the Filipinos looks forward for and prepare so much for it and I hope future generations will also do the same thing. Thank you sir for this video.
After watching this episode, I realized that Sto.

This video enlightened me with how the Filipinos came to devote Sto. Niño and its effect on our religion today. As well as the historical context of the relic, the point of view of the historian who wrote this, and most of all it also gave me insight into how the practices we Filipinos do to show reverence is still similar to what we do now. Furthermore, this video educated me of the misconceptions that I've had since childhood about the said relic and I'm glad that I'm much more informed about it now.

Being raised in a Born Again Christian family, I have little to no information about Sto. Nino. After watching this episode, I was able to know the explanations behind the celebrations of these festivals. I learned not only about Sto. Nino's religious and spiritual value, but also its historical relevance. Thank you Sir Danny for this information.
As a Roman Catholic, I have observed how people value and have faith in the Sto. Niño. Through this video, I have learned that even before, stories of miracles are famous about the Sto. Niño as well as how the image was used in rituals. The significance of the Sto. Niño in religious aspect and how it was bound on the history of the Philippines was discussed clearly. I am happy to know that it continues to affect the lives of the Filipinos positively, so thank you for the effort to share this with us.
Watching the video made me realize the connection of Sto. Niño with our history, the video tackled about the origin of Sto. Niño de Cebu and how it shaped our culture as a religious country.
This video allowed me to understand the meaning of Sto. Niño for us Filipinos and how He was brought here in the Philippines. This video also showed how dedication to this iconic religious piece began. Big thank you Sir Danny for the episode, I learned a lot.
As a Catholic and as student, I highly appreciated this because it gave emphasis to St. Nino. It contributed to the history of the Philippines. The 500 years of devotion is something that we must be proud of.
Growing up from a religious family, Santo Nino is believed to be the baby Jesus that we should pray for before leaving the house. We also offer food and milk on our Santo Nino statue every week. With the help of this archive, I was able to understand the origin of Santo Nino. I have also realized how Magellan used religion to manipulate the people. The influence of the Spaniards on the beliefs of the people is dominating seeing as there are Santo Nino statues in almost all Filipino households. Thank you Sir Danny for this video.
It is fascinating how our ancestors practiced rituals before and believed the image of Sto. Niño is miraculous. Many Filipinos placed importance on this event which is evident until today as we continuously celebrate the Sinulog Festival in Cebu. This celebration allows us to commemorate the birth of Christianity in our country, as well as honor the first known statue of baby Jesus. Thank you again for this video, Sir Danny!
This video taught me how important this relic is. Sto. Niño is not only some relic that we, the Catholics, look up to, but a part of a historical event. Thank you so much, Sir Danny, for giving us a glimpse of the importance and origin of Sto. Niño.
Growing up in a religious family, the image of Sto. Niño has always been part of our lives. I've always seen Sto. Nio figures inside our house, as well as the homes of my relatives and friends. However, I was unfamiliar with its origins and history. And as I listen to the stories about the Sto. Niño fascinated me because it not only strengthens our spiritual beliefs but also broadens our understanding of our early culture, traditions, and habits. Through this video, I realized its profound significance to every Filipino. Not only does it symbolize Christianity's arrival in the Philippines, but it is also a reminder of how strong our faith was even before we were officially introduced to Christianity.
Sir Danny’s videos are always filled with new trivias and information and I would like to thank him and his team for their amazing videos. As a catholic, I only knew little about the history of the Sto. Nino and why it was widely known and celebrated through out our country. Thanks to this video, I now understand the significance of the Sto. Nino and its vital role in shaping our history and culture.
Thank you, Sir Danny, for another interesting video that captivates the attention of the many! The essentiality of Sto Niño was emphasized in the entirety of the clip. It has aided in a great contribution to our academic field.
As a Roman Catholic, I am well-aware of Sto Niño's image, but not his true persona. Watching the whole clip has made me realize the significance of Sto Niño - he is someone who is regarded as someone who is an embodiment of the people's religiousness. He has truly enriched the history of Catholicism in such a way that he brought miracles of the past, particularly in Cebu. He was addressed as a "diwata" for he brings rain every time the people would ask for rainfall. As a result, we celebrate the miracles and enrichments through major events like the Feast of Santo Niño, Sinulog festival, and other celebrations or colorful parades.
Relaying information on historical events like this would not be possible without the help of various historical materials. For me, despite one's religious affiliation, Sto Niño will remain significant to the lives of every Filipino as it has showcased a unique identity to our country. As we commemorate the 500th year of the beginning of Christianity in our country, this video was necessary for the further knowledge of the many.
It is very enlightening to get to know the origin of one of the most celebrated image of faith in the Philippines. The fact that we were able to preserve the belief of our ancestors, even after hundreds of years, is quite captivating to think of. Thank you for this opportunity, Sir!
This is yet another video that has enlightened me with facts about the Sto. Niño from our history. The Sto Niño has a very large impact on the culture and the spiritual lives of the Filipinos and hearing about the miracle stories and the historical facts about it is very interesting. Thank you sir for the very inspiring and informative video since this made me realize how history is such a rich and broad topic that I get to uncover and unfold new things through research.
As a child, I was always curious who's the baby figure carrying a bag and a cross in our bedroom and I tend to question my parents why do they keep on putting coins inside His bag and why is He keep getting the coins instead of me? And why do they buy clothes in a different color for Him? But as I grew older, I slowly understand. I even think that the Sto. Niño here in our house is older than me. Today, I learned new information about Sto. Niño, its history, and its relevance to my life as I slowly comprehend the world. Because of this, I recall something when my parents asked me to bring Sto. Niño with me when I go to the church for blessing. This video enables me to learn more about Sto. Niño which we have one in our home for years and I can now share what I have learned particularly with my parents. Thank you, sir, Danny!
As a Roman Catholic, it is really nice to have additional knowledge about Sto. Nino. From how significant Sto. Nino is, to being regarded as the most iconic piece of Catholicism history, with the video explaining the history and its relevance to us Filipinos. Cultures were shaped and molded into what we have now, so thank you Sir Danny for the episode, I learned a lot of things and it was really enjoyable.
Upon watching this video, I learned and understand how important sto.niño is by being part of the expedition. But also sto.niño plays a big role in our catholic religion, and the city of Cebu as being the place who strengthens our beliefs and culture as a catholic. Thanks for sharing this video sir Danny!
From this episode of the History from the Archives, I was able to understand the significance of Sto. Niño to us Filipinos and how it became such an important part of our everyday life as Catholics. Moreover, through this video, I was able to learn its early history, its introduction to the natives by the Magellan expedition, and its survival of 44 years of hiatus of Christianity in the Philippines until discovered by the crew of the Legazpi-Urdaneta Expedition. Once again, Thank you sir Danny Gerona and HFA team for this informative video content!
Growing up in a Filipino catholic household, My family had a lot of statues of the saints here in our house. The smallest is the baby Jesus or the Sto.Nino. After watching this video, my knowledge about the cute baby Jesus was been widen. I am so grateful to know the history and the miracles that Sto. Nino did. Thank you, sir, Gerona for sharing this video with us.
Thank you Sir Danny for this episode. The image of Sto. Niño is predominant in each Filipino family which implies the control of Catholic faith in the Philippines. As I have watched this scene, it edify me on how it contributed, not exclusively to the Catholic confidence, yet in addition to our nation's way of life and history. In this manner, these realities about Sto. Niño assists me with extending my comprehension of the foundations of merriments festivity.
As I viewed this episode of history of Acrchives that tackled a brief discussion of Sto. Niño de Cebu I was delighted to be part of the viewers in a sence that this episode brings me back to the time when I was still young to shown my devotion to Mother Marry and his only begotten son Jesus as one of the Filipino Christian. This episode thought me that Sto. Niño is not just a miracolous relict in the history of Filipino Catholism but as well as its significant to the central faith of most Cebuano and for all Filipino which symbolize a powerful belief in connection to Christianity. And this episode does not tackled about the religious implication but its historic relevance to Filipino's of the present, so I highly appreciated this episode.
Images of Sto. Niño can be commonly spotted in Filipino households. In addition to this, the Sinulog Festival is commemorated in Cebu every January in honor of Sto. Niño. This goes to show how influential Sto. Niño is in the spiritual life of Filipinos. Growing up, we had an image of Sto. Niño at home in which we would hang garlands of sampaguita but I only knew so little about the Child Jesus. This video was able to deliver substantial information about the origin of the devotion to Sto. Niño and how it promulgated to the Philippines through the arrival of Magellan. I realized how much Sto. Niño shaped the history of the Philippines and how it is being honored until today. Watching this video made me appreciate Sto. Nino even more. Once again, thank you, Sir Danny and to your team for sharing with us this video.
This informative video will surely enlighten a lot of viewers about the Sto. Niño. As for me, after knowing the existence of the Sto. Niño for a very long time, it is my first time to learned that Sto. Niño was brought by Magellan here in the Philippines. It made me realized that there are still a lot of facts and information that everyone still doesn't know. I highly appreciate and commend these kind of videos of Sir Gerona as it will surely help a lot of viewers, especially Catholics who are eager to learn the history and origin of the Sto. Niño.
The rich culture and beliefs that we have now demonstrate that we have been profoundly inspired by the Spaniards, particularly in religion, and learning about the history of the Sto. Niño de Cebu has made it even more fascinating given the everlasting dedication shown to it. The miracles and legends that surround it have allowed me to comprehend and appreciate it more fully than I had anticipated. I've also discovered how deeply ingrained cultural impact on Filipinos has become.
Since we are commemorating the 500th year of the beginning of Christianity in our country, it is pivotal to dig deeper into its context. One of which is the religious icon that is being acknowledged even now- the Santo Niño. I am grateful that I was able to collect knowledge about its origin based on reliable historical sources and documentation. Thank you, Dr. Danny, for this very informative discussion.
I would like to first, thank Dr. Danny and to all the staff behind this informative episode. When I was in Elementary, I knew that the Sto. Niño was a gift of the Spaniards after the baptism of Rajah Humabon. But that was the only information I knew until today that I have watched this episode. I never thought that there was more to that story. As I continue to watch the episode I have realized how the image of Sto. Niño matters to every Christian Filipino. Through this, I’ve appreciated the image more, for it truly helped the Filipinos, especially the Christians to have a more diverse culture, a great devotion ( through miracles attributed to the image) and a stronger faith.
My mom is really one of the committed devotee of Sto. Nino since she is born in Cebu. She would always remember the feast of Sto. Nino even if she is far away from Cebu. It is always a privilege to watch every insightful video of Mr. Danny (for free) because I get to know deeper, clearly, and in detail what happened in the past. Like Sto. Nino de Cebu, I just knew that he was a child and nothing more, that is why I am thanking Mr. Danny for posting such informative videos like this. Kudos to you, Mr. Danny Gerona!
Sir Danny, thank you for your wonderful and informative video. This episode is all about Sto. Niño's roots and history. As a practicing Catholic, I acknowledge that I don't know enough about him. I only know he's a saint and I see his portrait in every house I go to. This video helps me better comprehend how he enriched our Catholic faith. People regard him as a diwata because he performs miracles and sends rain when people request it. I'm still amazed at how people cherish the saint's gift to our faith and not only make it a part of their life, but also help to recognize or appreciate our resources through festival celebrations as a way of thanking the saint. I am very happy that I watched this video because it not only enlightens me about Sto. Niño and its history but also makes me realize his contribution to the enrichment of our culture and spirituality.
I grew up familiar with the image of Sto. Niño because it hangs on every wall of our house and there’s also a small statue of it on our altar. It reflects the Catholic faith of the Filipinos which was carried by the Spaniards. In this video, I learned more about the significance if Sto. Niño in shaping our culture, religion and even tradition. The depth understanding of Christianity here in our country is still reflected because of the image of Sto. Niño that continues to connect us from the past to the present. Thank you so much Sir Danny for sharing more information!

Indeed, thank you for sharing with us the early history of Sto Nino de Cebu. I'm starting to realize that there's a lot more information out there that I'm unaware of. Ultimately grateful for this platform!

Niño and its historical signicicance. It explained to us how the image had become a huge part of our belief. It is astonishing how Sto. Niño made a significant impact on the people back in the day. This allowed me to understand the religious implications of his image, making it easier for me to strengthen my Catholic beliefs. Indeed, our history is very rich and it also allowed us to understand the origins of the images we pray to. Thank you, Sir Danny, for this wonderful video content!
In this episode, I was enlighted about the significance of Sto. Niño to the culture, history, and spiritual lives of the Filipinos. Before, I was unaware of its connection with the Magellan expedition, which amazed me after watching this video. As a Catholic, I grew up seeing and hearing about Sto. Niño, but I only had a little knowledge about it. Thank you so much, Sir Danny, for sharing this new knowledge.
Popular religious saints such as the Sto. Niño are no stranger to Filipino adoration. Knowing about his background will certainly benefit us, and watching this video will aid our understanding. This video did a lot to improve our understanding by making us aware of the stories about Sto. Niño. Most of our population are Catholic, and that is why we place so much importance on this. This is such a great contribution to the academic community. Thanks to the historians, that classic and time-honored knowledge has been handed down to succeeding generations. Thank you so much, Sir!

Sto. Nino has been part of the belief culture of many Filipinos since the first time it was brought here in our country. I am not a much of a devotee of Sto. Nino, but watching this video gave me learnings on the story of its origin. I think I want to know more of Sto. Nino deeper and learn more about the significance that played a part in our history. Thank you, Sir for the new knowledge I gained.

Niño more because I was able to learn not just about its origins and religious meanings, but also about its historical value. It was wonderful to learn that Ferdinand Magellan gave birth to Christianity to us and was the one who gave the image to the Queen of Cebu as a gift for the couple. This small gift presented by Magellan to the previous rulers of Cebu has grown and made a significant impact on our Filipino identity. I am very happy to learn how the Sto. Niño shaped our culture and history.

After seeing this video, I was able to know more about Sto. Niño and it made me appreciate him more. I am now more intrigue to know more about the history of Philippines when it comes to saints, beliefs and religion.
Upon growing up in a Catholic family, we have several Sto. Niño statues, figurines, and pictures in our own house that would be occasionally brought to the church for blessings and events for sight-seeking. It shows how important Sto. Niño is in our Filipino blood because it is rooted and has a very deep historical significance, especially in certain regions here. We should acknowledge Sto.

Truly, this episode showed that St. Niño is not only significant religion-wise but also plays a role in our history and how Filipinos are molded. Thank you so much for this very informative episode, Sir Danny!

It is very interesting to know more about the beliefs, stories, panata and rituals for Sto. Nino. Moreover, I also learned that the image of Sto. Nino is older than the Image of Penafrancia. Thank you, Sir Geron for another informative video!
Thank you, Sir, for sharing this educational film on the Sto. Nino! I feel that understanding the roots of the events we respect is critical, particularly in terms of how they are assimilated into our society. I understood how the Sto. Despite our various religious beliefs, Nino truly bonds and links us to our rich heritage. Here, that tiny present given to the past kings of Cebu has become one of the most significant personalities that may be linked to our Filipino identity. I believe that studying everything there is to know about this phenomenon improves and strengthens not just our spiritual interconnectedness.
It was fascinating to learn about Sto's past as a Roman Catholic. Cebu's Sto. Nino. I was quite taken aback when I learned that Sto. Nino was also employed in a rain-invoking rite.

Back when I was in my formative years, I had this immense fascination with Christian books and Saints. I tended to collect images/relics of the latter; in which, Jesus’ pictures or any form of Sto. Niño were part of my collection. With this, I didn’t indulge myself that much in playing with toys, yet I also enjoyed those stuff. I had a happy childhood - it was not perfect but it was a wonderful childhood. And with this video presented by Sir Danny, which by the way thank you, sir, and to your team; I grasped the significance of the image, the Sto. Niño for FIlipinos, on why we revere it so much.
