1.6 million people join Black Nazarene procession
MANILA, Philippines (5th UPDATE) – At least 1.6 million Catholics joined a religious procession on Sunday for a centuries-old black icon of Jesus Christ believed by many to have miraculous powers.
The annual parade of the Black Nazarene atop a gilded carriage around Manila’s downtown Quiapo district is one of the largely Catholic country’s most spectacular and extreme shows of faith, and attracts people from all walks of life.
