Incredible scenes from Manila's Black Nazarene procession

Over 600 people have been injured during the annual Black Nazarene parade, one of the most popular religious gatherings in the Philippine capital Manila.

Around 800,000 Catholic devotees had flocked to the city to join the procession on January 9, 2019.

The Black Nazarene is a life-sized statue of Jesus Christ originally from Mexico and brought to the Philippines in 1606. Blackened when it survived a fire, the statue is believed to have healing power which draws worshippers who try to touch the icon during the parades.

If you believe, no explanation is necessary...
If you do not believe, no explanation is possible...
It's called FAITH. If these people have experienced something out of the ordinary and they believe it, ... who are we to judge them. Leave them alone...

I'm a catholic but not so religious, , when I saw the face of black Nazarene in person(2008). I can't explain the feeling, I had goosebumps, something is like touching my heart, suprisingly I was crying, so mysterious. Until now, I still can't believe what happened? Why I cried, unbelievable.

I have been to these and i still love how my fellow filipinos are working together to pull the black nazarene to the church that is far away

Respect others' beliefs. What if one says youre like a fool burning incense to your gods like a marijuana addict

This is an annual event, every 1 friday of the new year. The number of people who joins the procession averages 2-5million people. Many of the devotees comes from far away places, walked barefoot to join the procession

Translacion (a.k.a. Nazareno or Black Nazarene Procession) translated to English "Transferring" is a religious event where a statue of a black Jesus is being moved to (correct me if I have the wrong chapel) Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene.
The people think that the statue survived a fire. But it was already black made by an anonymous sculptor during the 1400's. The sculptor used black wood, but the news of it surviving a fire made people believe that it was a miracle of it being not burnt to ashes.

The celebration causes traffic and havoc in places, I literally went outside to go to a table tennis court and boy, was it messy. Several streets we're closed down, the data services were shut down for the day and the day before because of the event.

People need something to hold on to lest we just live on this earth without purpose. Religion fills that gap of something to hold on to. A mother with a sick child will go to these events and ask God to heal her child. These manifestations of beliefs give hope to those who believe.
