Devotees parade their images of the Santo Niño or the Holy Infant Jesus ahead of Sunday’s festivities in Tondo, Manila. The Filipino devotion to the Holy Child stems from the rediscovery in 1565 by Spanish colonizers of an image of the Santo Niño brought by Magellan to Cebu in 1521. PHOTO BY RUSSELL PALMA
