Thousands of Catholic devotees participated in the “Walk of Faith” early Sunday morning, Jan. 8, after two years of canceled in-person festivities to solemnly celebrate the Feast of the Black Nazarene.
The number of faithful who joined the procession has reached 46,795 as of 1:55 a.m., according to an estimate by Quiapo Church Command Post.
Unlike the usual “Traslacion,” the actual image of the Black Nazarene and replicas were not brought out for the procession.
