Hundreds of devotees accompany the callejeron or the image of the Black Nazarene on its way to the Nazareno parish church on 9 January 2018. The annual procession has drawn thousands of devotees every year since the image was brought to Cagayan de Oro in 2009. MindaNews photo by FROILAN GALLARDO
“After two years of absence we cannot estimate the exact number of devotees but we expect it would be big considering the attendance in the mass last Christmas,” according to Monsignor Perseus Cabunoc, vicar general of the Cagayan de Oro Archdiocese. Viñas said it is expected that the mandatory “no backpacks and no umbrellas” rule would be implemented just like in the previous processions.
He said the life-size replica of a dark-skinned, kneeling Jesus Christ would be carried on the shoulders of “Hijos del Nazareno” members who usually wore yellow tshirts.
