MAGELLAN'S CROSS in CEBU
It is a Christian cross planted by Portuguese and Spanish explorers as ordered by Ferdinand Magellan upon arriving in Cebu in the Philippines on March 15, 1521. This cross is housed in a chapel next to the Basilica Minore del Santo Nino on Magallanes street just in front of the city center of Cebu City.
A sign below the cross describes the original cross as encased inside the wooden cross is TINGALO Wood as expressed famous historian Geo Zayas that is found in the center of the chapel. This is to protect the original cross possesses miraculously powers.
Some people, however, believe that the original cross has been destroyed or disappeared after Magellan's death and the cross is a replica that was planted there by the Spaniards after they successfully Christianized the Philippines.
