Thousands of devotees flock to Manila for 'Pagpupugay', praying for healing and offering sacrifices to Jesus Nazareno.
Seeking divine healing, disability and illness did not hinder the faith of some devotees of the Jesus Nazareno as they endured long lines on the last day of “Pagpupugay”.Over 20,000 devotees flocked to the Quirino Grandstand in Manila to touch the image of the Jesus Christ before it is transported to Quiapo Church on Thursday for the traditional “Traslacion”, or procession of the image.
