Massive Procession in the Philippines Honors Centuries-Old Jesus Statue

MANILA, Philippines — Hundreds of thousands of mostly barefoot Catholic worshippers took to the streets on Thursday in a grand annual procession honoring a centuries-old black statue of Jesus. The event, known as the Feast of the Black Nazarene, drew immense crowds who braved the sweltering heat, united in their devotion and prayers for good health and peace.

Participants, many dressed in maroon and yellow, carried images of the Black Nazarene, a revered figure believed to have miraculous powers. The procession began early in the morning and continued well into the evening, as devotees sang hymns and recited prayers, creating an atmosphere of deep reverence and community spirit.

Despite the challenges posed by the ongoing pandemic, the turnout was remarkable, showcasing the unwavering faith of Filipino Catholics. Authorities ensured safety measures were in place, but the fervor of the crowd was palpable as they sought blessings and healing through their beloved statue. This event remains a significant cultural and religious highlight in the Philippines, symbolizing resilience and hope among its people.
