The replica of the image of the Black Nazarene from the Quiapo Church will be enshrined at the Our Lady of Veritas Chapel in Quezon City from May 30 to June 3, 2017.
Devotees seeking healing and other petitions may venerate the image of the Black Nazarene from 8:00am to 5:00pm.
Radio Veritas President Rev. Fr. Anton C.T. Pascual welcomes the image of the Black Nazarene and invites the public to visit it.
“Veritas Chapel is blessed to be visited by the replica of the image of Poong Nazareno and we want to share this blessing to our Kapanalig. Our chapel is open to everyone especially to the devotees of Poong Nazareno who wish to visit and pray before His image,” Fr. Pascual said.
The Black Nazarene is a life-sized, dark-colored, wooden sculpture of Jesus Christ that was brought to Manila by Augustinian priests in 1607. Tradition holds that it got its color after it was burned in a fire that hit the Spanish galleon carrying it. The image of black Nazarene is currently enshrined in the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo, Manila.
The Black Nazarene has been known to be miraculous by its Filipino devotees. People believe that whoever touched the Nazarene during its feast sometimes has been healed of their diseases. It is being attended by millions of devotees, making it as one of the country’s biggest annual religious procession.
The procession commemorates the first parade transferring the statue from a church in Intramuros to Quiapo Church on January 9, 1797.
