00:15thousands of candles were saved in one of the most popular attractions in the province.
00:20What is this for?
00:22A few days after the celebration of Silulog Festival in Cebu,
00:28this is what happened to the visitors of Magellan's Cross.
00:32Thousands of colorful candles were saved inside it.
00:35The candles were allied by the devotees to the Child Jesus.
00:38Every color of the candle is symbolized.
00:40Yellow is good health, green is success, pink is love, but most of them are red.
00:46Red is a symbol of the Lord Jesus Christ and love.
00:49For my health, I am sick, but now I am fine.
00:53According to Basilica del Santo Niño, which is located in Magellan's Cross,
00:57it has been a long time since the devotees left a candle here during the celebration of the Child Jesus.
01:02Instead of lighting the candle in the basilica itself,
01:05the devotees left the candle in Magellan's Cross to avoid the fire.
01:11The candles are collected by the residents of the basilica to light it and sell it.
01:15The abundant funds are said to be a great help to the scholars of their foundation.
01:21Brother Kim, when was the first time you used candles?
01:26Brother Kim, what is it?
01:28Candles give light more than 5,000 years ago.

01:35which is repeatedly soaked in tallow or animal fat and beeswax.

01:46Japanese and Chinese.
01:48But did you know that candles were not the only thing that served as light there?
