"This cross of Tindalo wood encases the original cross planted by Ferdinand Magellan on this very site on April 21 1521".. This is engraved on the sign at the bottom of the Cross. Although some historians said, that it could not possibly contain the original cross and Magellan's Cross has long been gone. The Cross brings a lot of history and influence to the Pilipinos, cause it marked the country's embrace to Christianity.
The shrine where the Cross is can be found within the compound of Basilica de Santo Niño in Cebu City.
