The annual 10-day observance of the Feast of Black Nazarene begins on December 31 and will culminate on January 9.
Traslacion, which means “solemn transfer,” is a reenactment of the 1787 cortege of the image of the Black Nazarene from its original shrine in Bagumbayan, the present Rizal Park, to the Quiapo Church. For the third year since the COVID-19 pandemic hit the Philippines in 2020, the Traslacion will not be conducted again.
But other activities for the Feast of the Black Nazarene will resume this 2023, such as the hourly celebration of the Holy Mass at the Quiapo Church and the Mass at the Quirino Grandstand headed by the Archdiocese of Manila, according to Fr. Earl Valdez, attached priest of Quiapo Church. Also, instead of the traditional “Pahalik,” devotees can just approach and touch the image of the Black Nazarene, Valdez added.
