Yesterday, the “ vesperas” of the feast of the Santo Niño, was a day of disappointment as it was a day of exhilaration and hope.

For the third year in a row. Cebu Archbishop Richardo Cardinal Vidal was not able to join the procession of the Holy Image around the streets of the old city—upon orders of his doctor.

But for the second year in a row, a rainbow appeared in the skies just as the early morning fluvial procession wound its way from Mandaue City to Cebu City in reenactment of the arrival of the Holy Image to Cebu from Spain more than 400 years ago.
