Devotees of Jesus Nazareno flock to the Quiapo Church in Manila to attend one of the 33 fiesta masses on January 9, 2025. Crowd estimates in the area reached 20,500 as of 9:00 a.m., according to the Nazareno Operations Center. Speaker Martin Romualdez is one with the Filipino people in celebrating the annual feast of Jesus Nazareno , also known as the Traslacion , in Quiapo, Manila this Thursday.
Romualdez underscored the enduring Filipino devotion to Jesus Nazareno, which continues to inspire hope and unity among the faithful. The Feast, held every January 9, commemorates the transfer of the centuries-old image of Jesus Christ. The tradition has become a major religious event in the country, drawing millions of devotees from all walks of life. Romualdez emphasized that the celebration is not just a religious ritual but a powerful expression of faith and solidarity. “The annual Traslacion reminds us of the importance of faith and unity as a community. This devotion reflects the strength and courage of our faith,” the leader of the 307-strong House of Representatives stated in Tagalog. Romualdez also lauded the sacrifices of devotees, many of whom wait an entire year for this occasion, as an inspiring act of gratitude and hope. “The perseverance and dedication of our devotees remind us of the power of faith in overcoming life’s challenges,” the Speaker said. The Jesus Nazareno procession, considered one of the largest annual religious gatherings globally, has become a spiritual anchor for many Filipinos, who believe that joining the procession and touching the image or its rope brings blessings and healing. “The Feast of Jesus Nazareno is a symbol of the deep faith of every Filipino. May this year’s celebration be safe, orderly and full of unity,” Romualdez said
