The solemn vesting or “maringal na pagbibihis” of the new official image of the Santo Niño de Pandacan was held at the Manila Cathedral in Intramuros, Manila last Saturday, January 16, a day before the feast of the Santo Nino which was observed last Sunday, January 17.
The new icon was made from the original wooden image of the parish. The broken piece of the finger of the Child Jesus which was spared from the fire that broke out in July, 2020, was kept safe by the parish. The original finger, according to the Manila Cathedral, will be incorporated into the new official image.

After the celebration of Christ’s birth and the Solemnity of Mary on New Year’s Day, the Christian world celebrates the Feast of the Epiphany every Jan. 6. This year it is being celebrated today, on the first Sunday after the New Year, to give many more people the chance to celebrate it than on a weekday.
When I was a child, my parents used to tell me that this day is the end of the Christmas season. Traditionally, we take down our Christmas tree and pack our Christmas decorations after the Epiphany. In my hometown, this is the day when the image of the Baby Jesus is passed around every house to bless us and to be kissed.
Dubai: The traditional Simbang Gabi will be deeply missed by Catholic Filipinos in Dubai due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There will be no evening masses that attract close to 25,000 people every night for nine days leading to Christmas at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Oud Metha. There will only be virtual Simbang Gabi starting on December 15.
“This is part of our preventive measures against COVID-19,” Filipino priest Fr Chito Bartolo, OFM Cap, told Gulf News. “There will be no in-person Simbang Gabi in Dubai as the Catholic churches remain closed. But St. Mary’s Church and St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Jebel Ali will have a joint online Simbang Gabi beginning on December 15 at 7.45pm,” he added.
