President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. issued a message emphasizing the transformative power of the Feast of the Jesus Nazarene, urging devotees to strengthen their faith and engage in communal service. Thousands of devotees participated in the annual Traslacion procession in Manila.
In his message, the President emphasized the feast's transformative power as a religious observance and a call to action for communal service. President Marcos expressed his hope that the Feast of the Jesus Nazarene would fortify the bond between the devotees and the Almighty, encouraging them to serve others with the same spirit of hope and peace that the Nazarene embodies. Thousands of devotees walk barefoot in prayer and sacrifice during the annual Traslacion on Thursday, Jan. 9.
'This colossal gathering of Filipinos in the streets of Manila is a testament to our people's solidarity and camaraderie,' he said. 'Let us remember that we are called to hurdle the challenges that test our resolve with faith and grace as well as to reach out to those around us who need our kindness and empathy,' he added. Last week, President Marcos declared Jan. 9 a special nonworking day in Manila to mark the annual celebration of the Feast of the Jesus Nazarene. The City of Manila earlier said security was a top priority for this year's Traslacion, deploying over 12,000 personnel from the Manila Police District (MPD), the Philippine National Police (PNP) - National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO), and nearby police regional offices. The observation revolves around the revered statue of Jesus Nazarene, which represents Jesus Christ carrying the cross. The celebration has deep historical roots and attracts millions of devotees annually with 6.1 million people present during last year's Traslacion. The statue was brought to Manila from Mexico by Spanish missionaries in 1606
