00:00Devotees of the Black Nazarene Feast Day, an iconic image, hailed from hither and yonder.
00:05Some have faithfully repeated this annual ritual for several decades
00:08after miraculous healings of loved ones are to themselves years ago
00:12and have since come back each year without fail.
00:15The devotees' tales are similar or may slightly vary,
00:19but their intense and displays of faith are equally strong and compelling,
00:22as our Bernard Ferrer reports.
00:24Marina's devotion to Jesus Nazareno was once put to the test
00:30when her husband contracted leptospirosis.
00:34When her husband was hospitalized last year, Marina feared that he would not survive.
00:38However, she faced this trial through fervent prayers to Jesus Nazareno.
00:43I said to myself, don't worry about it, because we know how we are going to be able to live in life.
00:51According to Marina, she has been a devotee of Jesus Nazareno for nearly five decades,
00:57a devotion she has also shared with other members of her family.
01:01Aside from this, the couple also serves in Couples for Christ.
01:04From Sambales, Delma traveled all the way to Quiapu Church on the eve of the Traslasyon 2026.
01:10This is part of her deep devotion to Jesus Nazareno following her recovery from gallstone surgery.
01:16Because of this, she did not mind the long journey to Manila.
01:19Basta wala lang kaming naramdaman na kaya namin, sige, kahit na ang hirap kaya mag-commute, mahirap.
01:30Meanwhile, Edz, who is from Bulacan, also attended an early Mass at Capu Church.
01:35He inherited his devotion to Jesus Nazareno from his parents.
01:39Despite suffering from asthma, this did not hinder Edz from deepening his devotion.
01:43He makes it a point to regularly attend Mass at Capu Church, even though it is far from their place.
01:55Meanwhile, ambulant venters are no longer allowed to sell goods at Plaza Miranda,
01:59Corredo Street, and Villiobo Street surrounding Capu Church.
02:02This is part of the authorities' measures to maintain order and prevent overcrowding
02:06as the number of devotees continues to increase.
02:08Police personnel also remain on standby around the church.
