MANILA – Thousands of devotees of a 17th-century statue of a dark-skinned Jesus Christ thronged the streets of Manila over the weekend, as relaxed Covid-19 rules allowed people to venerate the Black Nazarene up close.
Worshippers would jostle to hold onto the ropes used to pull the Nazareno’s carriage and climb on top of others’ shoulders just to touch and wipe towels on the holy image. But unlike the past two years, when only hourly masses were held for the Black Nazarene Feast, the procession was allowed – though devotees could still not march alongside the Nazareno. The rebranded “Walk of Faith” procession was also held a day before the feast day.
“We were able to hold an election last year when thousands attended rallies. Concerts with huge crowds are back. But it seems we’re neglecting God this time,” said Mr Nacional, a member of the Hijos del Nazareno group that guards the image during past Traslacions. Over 440,000 devotees also joined the masses held at the Quiapo Church from Saturday to Monday, where they could gaze at the original Black Nazarene statue displayed on the church’s terrace.
