Over 8 Million Devotees Join Nazarene Feast

Organizers said Thursday's Traslacion, which followed a 5.8-kilometer route, was also one of the longest processions in recent years, lasting 20 hours, 45 minutes and four seconds.

It began at 4:40 a.m. of Jan. 9 and concluded at 1:26 a.m. the following day.

According to the Nazareno Operations Center, the total number of attendees across various events from Jan. 2 to 10 totaled 8,124,050. The estimate included the 1,290,590 people at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila, 387,010 in the Central area and 6,446,450 at Quiapo Church.

Despite challenges, including two snapped ropes and a dense crowd, the image of the Nazarene safely returned to Quiapo Church.
