Description
Millions of the Black Nazarene devotees joined the procession during the Quiapo fiesta. Devotees came from different parts of the country as they believe that by continuing with the yearly family vow or "panata", they will find peace and good health for their families; ask for deliverance from all kinds of calamities,natural and man made; for better health,prosperity and for the stability of our country and world peace.

Devotees pulled ropes attached to the carriage of the Black Nazarene and His cross. Traditionally, only barefooted are allowed to join the procession. T'was a cacophony of people's faces and voices. Devotees were stubborn reminders of people on the loose,bound perhaps by the single resolve to touch the image of the mystical Black Nazarene. Most tried to carry it on their shoulders. The procession usually lasts for six hours.

Several multi-colored brass bands marched for the occasion and followed by early morning masses.

Traffic enforces closed the Quiapo district to vehicular traffic from early morning, forcing motorists to take alternate routes to reach their places of works and keep their appointments.

Celebrated every 9th of January
