Title of the Child Jesus in the Catholic Church
Sto En
The Señor Santo Niño de Cebú, or simply the Santo Niño, is a Catholic title of the Child Jesus associated with a religious image widely venerated as miraculous by Filipino Catholics.
It is the oldest Christian artifact in the Philippines, originally given as a gift by Ferdinand Magellan to Rajah Humabon and his wife and chief consort, Hara Humamay, on the occasion of their Christian baptism in 1521. The image is the only canonically crowned image of Jesus in the Philippines.
