Prayers to Jesus, the Black Nazarene | Jesus Nazareno
Prayers to Jesus, the Black Nazarene | The Black Nazarene devotion is a Catholic tradition in the Philippines that honors a life-sized, dark-colored wooden statue of Jesus Christ carrying the cross. The statue is believed to have been brought from Mexico to Manila in the early 17th century by the first group of Augustinian Recollect friars sent by Spain. The image was charred black in a fire that broke out on the ship during the trip. Devotees believe the statue holds miraculous powers and flock to it by the millions during an annual procession on January 9th. Devotees try to touch the statue as it is paraded through the streets in hopes of having prayers answered or illnesses cured.
