The statue of the Child Jesus (or the Santo Niño de Cebu) is one of the oldest Christian relics in the Philippines. The original statue was given as a gift to Cebu by Ferdinand Magellan in 1521, and the statue/dolls have become a regular feature of the The Sinulog-Santo Niño festivals held in January. These photos are from an exhibit at the SM City Mall last weekend.
