Another year has begun which means that it is officially the start of new beginnings and a brand new set of chances to make memories in the months to come.
In Cebu, as we welcome the new year, one of the most awaited events during January is the Fiesta Señor — a weeklong celebration that commemorates the Feast of the Sto. Niño.
Aside from attending Novena Masses at the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño de Cebu, there are various ways to celebrate the 456th Fiesta Señor this year.
From enjoying exhibits and displays to discovering world-class Cebuano products, you can extend the celebration with your family and close friends by dropping by Cebu malls that got it all for you.
Here is a list of all the exciting events to attend and watch out for during the Fiesta Señor in Cebu.
Novena Mass Live Streaming in the Mall
To ensure a safe and secure Fiesta Señor 2021, live streaming of the Novena Masses are broadcasted live to keep the crowd controlled inside the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño de Cebu.
As you enjoy a day out with your family at SM Seaside City Cebu, you can also attend a Novena Mass before you continue shopping or after you enjoyed a Fiesta Señor celebration inside the mall. The Novena Mass Live Streaming at SM Seaside has a limited seating capacity to ensure social distancing among attendees.
Duration: January 8 to 16, 2021 every 2 p.m. and 5 p.m.
Location: SM Seaside City Cebu – Cube Wing Atrium
You can attend the Novena Masses at SM Seaside City Cebu every 2 p.m. and 5 p.m.
Southern Devotion
Cebuanos have a really unique way of celebrating the Fiesta Señor. One example of this is that many devotees that attend the Novena Masses at the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño de Cebu bring their own images of the Sto. Niño exhibiting different designs of the Child Jesus’ clothes.
If you want to have a closer look at Sto. Niño images owned by devotees, explore a showcase of the images owned by the families from the South of Cebu for many years at the Southern Devotion Exhibit — a display of almost 40 Sto. Niño images.
Together with Msgr. Jan Limchua, Chaplain of His Holiness and a member of the Papal Household; Msgr. Agustin Ancajas, Director of The San Pedro Calungsod Chapel; and Fr. Ric Reyes, OSA from the Fiesta Senior Execom; SM Seaside City Cebu has opened the exhibit to the public last January 8, 2021 and will last until January 17, 2021.
Duration: January 8 to 17, 2021
