Brief History Of Barangay Sta. Rosa

STA. ROSA DANAO CITY, CEBU- Barangay Sta. Rosa (or Santa Rosa), named after the patron Snra. Sta. Rosa de Lima. They celebrated their fiesta on August 30, with full of roses and lot of devotee came from different places to join the celebration and to thank Sta. Rosa de Lima for all the blessings.

From a long time ago, a man walking near at danawan to collect some grass to feed his animals shock of what he saw while almost stepping a small yet gorgeous image. While, Fidel Poe Gian of Mantija II found out that the image of Snra. Sta. Rosa de Lima was gone in his locked altar. He discovered Sta. Rosa dress had a grass called "AMORSICO" and the whole body of Sta. Rosa was looking toward west, which means that this image was alive and walking for some reasons. No one touches it, no one hold it either.

One day, a man from his neighboring barangay visited his house was confused while watching the image of Sta. Rosa and told Mr. Gian that, that image was in his barangay the other day. After he heard it, he decided to give it (the image of Sta. Rosa de Lima) to that barangay. That's when they started calling that place BARANGAY STA. ROSA.
