VICE President Noli De Castro, a Black Nazarene devotee, shares his thoughts on the annual feast and on this year’s preparations. As in previous years, De Castro says he offers a prayer to the image. Video taken by INQUIRER.net reporter Thea Alberto.

Thousands of devotees of the Black Nazarene attend mass at the Quirino grandstand. Mostly dressed in maroon and yellow, throngs of young and old devotees join the procession, blocking the path of the Black Nazarene as it inches its way to the Quiapo Church. Photos taken by INQUIRER.net reporters Thea Alberto, Izah Morales, Lawrence Casiraya and Marjorie Gorospe.

    Yeah, so what’s a little shared idolatry between Christians and Muslims? Heard the Catholic Taliban are sending a clone of the Black Nazareno to the MILF in Cagayan de Oro. Real smart! Jesus Meek and Mild for the our Muslim brothers and sisters.
