This 40-centimetre-high statue of the Infant Jesus was a gift from Magellan to Queen Hu as a symbol of friendship in 1521. . In 1565, war broke out in Cebu. On April 27, a fire razed Cebu to the ground. Only this "Statue of the Holy Child" remained intact. The locals called it a miracle and worshiped it.
