My second day in Cebu was a very busy day for me where I roam around mandaue and city proper. One of the most visited place in Cebu is The Magellan's Cross where people got some pictures for souvenir when coming to Cebu which is also known to be "The Queen City of the South" . Old Magellan’s Cross is housed in a small 8 sided polygon chapel next to Basilica Minore del Santo NiƱo across Cebu City Hall along Magallanes St. The street was named after the Portuguese explorer Magellan. You can also witness several women selling candles for P 1.00 and P 5.00 each. These women would ask for your name/s, dance in front of Magellan’s cross as they say a prayer for protection and security. This has already been a tradition along with the lighting of candle.
