Feast of the Black Nazarene - The Traslacion

It's been over a week since the feast of the Black Nazarene. Today, I'll be posting pictures from the Traslacion, the moments I was there near the andas at Lawton and the area of the Liwasang Bonifacio, before the procession went to Jones bridge. This grand procession is considered as the highlight of the feast, but there really is more to the feast day than just this. It seems like when this feast is featured, the procession seems to get the most (if not all the) attention in coverages. It's always an amazing experience to see this event, especially in person.

Here are my pics from the procession. Don't use without permission:

A closer look shows that one of the rays of the Nazareno's halo is missing

Devotees climb up the andas, guarded by the hijos.
Thousands, some carrying banners follow the Andas

Devotees managed to move those massive containers. Good thing nothing too bad happened.

Notice the cross was damaged

Hundreds of thousands at Lawton, Manila

VIVA NUESTRO PADRE JESUS NAZARENO!
