Enthroned
Rediscovered by a soldier of Miguel Legaspi 44 years after Magellan gave the Sto. Niño to the natives, the image was enthroned in its shrine on April 28, 1565—thereafter celebrated every year until Pope Innocent XVIII moved the feast to the third Sunday of January, the Epiphany, to take it out of the season of Lent. The enthronement in a shrine, before the construction of the San Agustin church, was celebrated with a solemn procession, a fluvial parade and the Holy Mass said by Fr. Andres Urdaneta.
