My World#107 They Waved At Him
We were there to visit the the Basilica del Sto. Nino of Cebu City and while we were taking photos outside, we saw this...
A friend asked if I knew why people wave outside the church but I only thought that somebody was just waving at somebody who was inside the church so, I observed more and then, I saw this..
and this and more of them...
The reason: it is customary for most locals (even visitors who had known about it) to wave at the image of the Child Jesus (long considered miraculous) that is being housed inside the church as they pass by it. It was their way of paying their respects to him as they go about their daily lives. Such a nice gesture.
