Black Nazarene procession: Broken wheels and strong will
Text and photos by VINCENT GO
IT was the longest procession to date in the history of Quiapo Church’s centuries-old Black Nazarene.
It took almost 22 hours for the life-size wooden sculpture of a dark-colored Jesus carrying the cross to return to church after leaving the Quirino Grandstand at the Rizal Park Monday morning. It was already quarter past 5 a.m. of Tuesday when it entered Quiapo Church as millions of devotees who believe the icon to be miraculous participated in the annual feast of the Black Nazarene.
