Devotees who took part in the Feast of the Black Nazarene’s main event, popularly called the “Traslacion,” were notably less rowdy compared to previous
RELIGIOUS FERVOR. Thousands of Catholic devotees walk with the closed carriage carrying the statue of the Black Nazarene as it leaves a park following a dawn mass at the Quirino Grandstand in Luneta. A sea of devotees fill up the streets of Manila to wait for the passage of the religious icon. Devotees surge around the carriage, some of whom push their way on top of other devotees to touch the glass panel protecting the religious image.
Quiapo church officials placed the crowd that joined the procession from Luneta to the Minor Basilica at around two million. Many of the devotees threw white towels at the image as marshals wiped them of its surface, believing that touching the statue would bless them and heal their illnesses. “This historic tradition, founded in great devotion, reminds us of the strength that allows us to find harmony in our faith as a people,” Mr. Marcos said in a statement.
