DEVOTION, what does devotion really means? As what people used to say, devotion is a gift of oneself, or one’s activities to God. It is a willingness and desire to dedicate oneself to serve God; either in terms of prayers or in terms of a set of pious acts such as the adoration of God or the veneration of the saints or the Virgin Mary.
Centuries have passed and there are already a lot of examples of devotions that the people are doing or practicing. Some common examples of Catholic devotions include the Rosary, the Stations of the Cross, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Holy Face of Jesus, the various scapulars, the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Seven Sorrows of Mary, Novenas to various saints, pilgrimages and devotions to the Blessed Sacrament, and the veneration of saintly images, etc.
Devotion to saints, with the Virgin Mary as the most prominent example, is a key characteristic of Roman Catholicism. Catholic devotions have various forms, ranging from formalized, multi-day prayers such as Novenas to activities which do not involve any prayers, such as Eucharistic adoration outside Mass, the wearing of scapulars, the veneration of the saints, and even horticultural practices such as maintaining a Mary garden.
In my 17 years of existence in this world, I have always been fascinated of making collections of such things, believing on such ideas and devoting myself to things that have been a tradition to our family. Since this term paper is all about devotion of thousands of people to the Sto. Niño or commonly called by the Catholic Society as the “HOLY CHILD”, the main body of my term paper would be filled by facts all about the Sto. Niño. I will talk more on its history and I will focus on its 3 tradition namely: the Pilgrimage, the Procession and most especially the
