RisaYahmy third time coming here, came in early and didn't get the chance to see the bird show (starts at 12nn) because we need to eat lunch outside 😆 but it's fine because I get to see the feeding show at the big aquarium and a baby penguin near the cafe area next to the souvenir shop

一直在路上的猫Magellan's Cross is located in Cebu City, Philippines. It is an important historical and cultural landmark of the country. In 1521, the Portuguese navigator Magellan led a fleet to Cebu Island, where he preached Catholicism. On April 14, Father Pedro Valderama held a baptism ceremony for the indigenous chieftain Rajah Humabon, his wife Queen Juana and 400 other indigenous people. In memory of this ceremony, Magellan erected the cross. ·Architectural features: The cross is placed in a hexagonal pavilion. The ceiling mural of the pavilion retains the scene of Magellan landing on Cebu Island. The priest on the ship held a baptism ceremony for the first batch of Filipino Catholics. The colors are bright and realistic. In fact, the cross above was erected when the original cross should have been sealed inside, and the wood should have been broken. In the end, Magellan also died in Cebu. It was a pity when he attacked other tribes on the opposite side. . Religious significance: Magellan's Cross is an important symbol of the development of Christianity in the Philippines, marking the beginning of Catholicism in the Philippines and witnessing the transformation of Filipinos' religious beliefs. It attracts many believers and tourists to worship and visit every year. . Historical significance: It is an important witness to the great historical event of Magellan's circumnavigation of the world, representing the spirit of exploration in the Age of Discovery, and also reflects the beginning of the history of the Philippines' colonial rule.
