Sto. Niño, the act of worship, and moral conduct
Manila Bulletin
|January 17, 2026
This Sunday is the feast of the Sto. Niño in the Philippines.
-
It is immensely popular among Filipinos.Rich and poor, young and old alike maintain a strong, if not fanatical, devotion to the Holy Child.
On the feast, big and mini statues are dressed endearingly in various forms and attires. There’s a Sto. Niño clad as a fireman, doctor, or policeman. There is also a Sto. Niño clothed in green, representing the green US dollar bills Filipinos are praying devoutly of receiving them.
In the gospel, Jesus teaches: "Amen I say to you, whoever does not accept the Kingdom of God like a child will not enter it” (Mark 13,15).
"Like little children," what does that mean? What is it about a child that Jesus liked and valued so much?
The emphasis is on being childlike, not childish; hence, Christlike.
