Following these “miracles,†the icon of the Santo Niño de Atocha is seen with a little basket in His left hand and a water gourd dangling from a staff in his right hand. He also wears sandals and a large hat, and sits on a chair.
The Basilica del Santo Niño, which houses the Sto. Niño de Cebu, has also published a booklet — “Mga Milagro ni Sr. Santo Niño†- of the purported miracles of the Holy Child. One of these miracles reportedly happened a long time ago inside the house of a Cebuano family who keeps an image of the Sto. Niño inside their room. According to the one who had the story published, her four-year-old nephew, once left alone inside the room, reportedly sustained a black eye after allegedly playing boxing with a “little boy.†When asked who that little boy was, the nephew pointed to the image of the Sto. Niño. Another story was how the same little boy saved a six-year-old child from a fire. Mrs. Puzon, as narrated in the book, said she left her child inside a locked room for a while, but when she came back, the house was already on fire. She was just surprised when she saw her son coming out of the house unscathed. The child later on told her that the Sto. Niño, which was on his hands, opened the door for them.
