00:00Hundreds of devotees came to Quiapo to worship the replicas of Jesus Christ.
00:06The devotees were also encouraged to make the whole of Nazareno a holy site.
00:14We have news from PTV's Rod Laguzad.
00:18The worship of Jesus Christ in the Church of Quiapo is a festive occasion.
00:30The bands played and sang along with the 30,000 devotees.
00:37Aside from the band, there were also dancers, firemen, and horsemen who pulled the replicas.
00:46In the early morning, Elena's group arrived in Quiapo for the activity.
00:50She told us that they came from Bukayu, Bulacan with other devotees.
00:55We met her when she visited us and we felt her presence.
01:02And for me personally, she really encouraged me.
01:06That's why I have a lot of faith in her.
01:09For the worship, the Quezon Boulevard was closed on the part of the Church of Quiapo
01:14and it was built in an overpass area.
01:16Unlike last year when it was built in Plaza Miranda, in front of the Church.
01:20We are worshipping now so that when the season comes,
01:25no one will bring images and replicas.
01:29Ahead of time, we are saying that we are prohibiting it.
01:32Because those small replicas cannot enter within the vicinity area.
01:38Last year, it took two or three days for the worship.
01:43But this year, it was restored in one day because there are no health restrictions.
01:48Father Arellano reminded the devotees to make their worship of the feast of Jesus Nazareno.
01:55For the first time, this is not only a celebration in the Church of Quiapo.
02:00If this is not a national feast in the whole Philippines,
02:05it means that there is also a worship in every parish.
02:09In addition, the Church of Quiapo is ready for the devotees' worship for the year of translation.
