April 28 - Anniversary of the finding of the Santo Nino

 


Today, April 28, is the anniversary of the finding of the image of the Santo Nino, one of the most revered images in Filipino Christendom. On April 28, 1565, just as when Legazpi landed in Cebu City in order to claim it for Spain, Juan Camus, a Basque soldier in Legazpi's army found the image in a destroyed hut, which was blown up when Legazpi bombed the area as a result of the hostile natives. He is said to have declared, ''For Holy Mary, I found the Son of God.'' The image was later given to Legazpi and the Augustinian friars in the expedition, a church was later built on the spot where the image was found. The current structure of the Santo Nino church where the image was found was built in 1740, with renovations after World War II and the 1965 400th anniversary of the Santo Nino's founding. On April 28, 1565, the image was solemnly crowned.

As a result, the staunchly immoral and pro-LGBT Disney fought back against DeSantis, thus Disney started to enter the American Culture Wars. Many conservative/traditionalist parents in America feared for their children’s lives saying Disney would brainwash them into immorality. The news later spread that Disney alongside other ‘’woke’’ organizations were brainwashing children in schools about LGBT and other immorality. This continued until 2024 when Ron DeSantis and Disney made peace with each other, and when Trump revoked DEI for good. However, from a ...
