The natives held a baptismal ceremony. To commemorate this grand religious ceremony, Magellan erected a cross in Cebu. Between 1525 and 1740, the monks of the Augustinian church built an open-air altar to the cross. The locals believed that the cross had divine power and believed that all diseases could be cured by cutting it into pieces and taking it away, so they peeled off its leather straps and left. In order to protect this historical relic, a pavilion-like house was later built on the road from the Santo Ni?o Church to San Pietro Castle to store it. Now it is enclosed with a hollow frame made of Tinadalo wood. At the same time, the hexagonal ceiling murals retain their original appearance, which are very colorful and lifelike. The people of Cebu believe in and respect this cross, which has profound historical and cultural significance. Every Sunday morning, countless faithful men and women bring incense and candles to pray for peace and prosperity.

It is 1500-2000 meters above sea level, so be sure to keep warm.

Infant Church: The Infant Church was built in 1565, where the world-famous icon of the Infant is preserved. It is said that after the baptism of the indigenous chief Raja Humabon and his wife Queen Juana, Magellan gave Queen Juana a dark-skinned baby image as a gift. In 1565, there was a fire in Cebu. On April 27, a fire razed Cebu to the ground. Only this baby's image is as good as ever, and the locals call it a miracle and worship it. Later, Captain Miguel Lopez de Legaspi and Fred. Andrés Urdaneta built the image of the Infant Jesus Christ after the image of the Infant was discovered. The image of the Infant was stored in the convent of the Catholic cathedral, while the original image of the Infant was enshrined on the altar of the church.
