The Opening and Blessing of the Belen happened last Dec. 15, 2010, at 11 a.m. at the Casa Gorordo Museum, Lopez Jaena St., Cebu City. Msgr. Cris Garcia, founder and spiritual director of the Society of the Angel of Peace, opened and blessed the Belen, which features the antique figurine collection of the Casa Gorordo Museum.


The Belen in the Casa Gorordo Museum, organized by the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. (RAFI) in collaboration with Msgr. Cris Garcia, does not only feature the Nativity Scene but also other significant events that happened before and after the birth of Jesus, such as the Annunciation and the Finding of Jesus in the Temple.


The Belen occupies half of the gallery of the Casa Gorordo Museum. It is a manifestation of RAFI's promise to carry on the traditions of the Gorordo Family who once lived in the museum.


The opening and blessing of the Belen is also timed with the 27th anniversary of the opening of the Casa Gorordo Museum. The museum was opened in Dec. 15, 1983.
