Today is the Feast of the Black Nazarene. Thousands of devotees flock to the Quiapo Church to participate in the procession, which lasted for over 12 hours today, the longest one in the history of the Black Nazarene. What was supposed to be a new route mapped to avoid accidents was discarded when devotees followed the old route, the streets that they knew for years.

The statue was finally brought inside the church at past 9 PM today, 6 hours late from the original estimated time. You should see how many devotees were at the church and around it! It’ll give you goosebumps, I swear.

In this tough time, people need something to hold on to, an anchor to keep their fears at bay. And He is the easiest one to hold on to, our faith the best anchor there is.
