January 09 every year... is the feast of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo, Manila. Thousands of devotees always join the procession of the said patron saint yearly as they prove their faith and devotion to the miraculous image. Others join the risky "sea of people" just to return the favor of granted prayers, giving thanks and to show their unwavering worship as well. So, when the famous Black Nazarene got its way to visit the Holy Family Parish Church in Marikina... I took the chance of taking photos of the black version of Jesus Christ burdened with a huge cross. And I wanted to share these pictures to the readers of this blog.
