Short History of Sinulog Festival: The Sinulog Festival, held annually in Cebu City, Philippines, is a religious and cultural celebration in honor of the Santo Niño (Child Jesus). The festival has its roots in the arrival of Christianity in the Philippines when Ferdinand Magellan gifted the Santo Niño statue to the native rulers of Cebu in 1521. The Sinulog dance, characterized by a rhythmic "two steps forward, one step backward" movement, symbolizes the Filipino people's devotion to the Child Jesus and their rich cultural heritage.
