That year also marked the baptism of Rajah Humabon who was given his Christian name Carlos and his wife, Hara Amihan, who was baptized Juana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first Filipino Catholics that year received, as a gift from explorer Ferdinand Magellan, the oldest religious icon today in the Philippines, Santo Nino de Cebu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn Hawaii, a great majority of immigrants here are Filipinos who brought with them their tradition, culture and most importantly, their faith,\u201d Bishop Silva wrote. \u201cAnd so, I am calling for our participation in that great jubilee\u201d to be done locally, called \u201c500 Years of Christianity in the Philippines \u2014 Hawaii celebration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI look forward to a grand celebration sometime in Easter 2021 at the Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Peace,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI am also planning to lead a Pilgrimage to the Philippines in 2021 for us to understand and appreciate even more the gift of faith of our Filipino brethren,\u201d the bishop said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bishop Silva announces local commemoration of 500 years of Christianity in the Philippines 12\/11\/2019&nbsp;BY&nbsp;HAWAII CATHOLIC HERALD Parol at the Co-Cathedral of St. Theresa in Honolulu.
