Black Nazarene

The majority of Filipino people are Catholic which means there are plenty of Catholic churches to visit.

I first visited Quiapo Church- famous for its Black Nazarene- a black statute of Jesus that many believe has the power to perform miracles. When I entered the church I was overwhelmed by the faith of the churchgoers. Many people had their hands reached in to the air as if hoping to touch the Black Nazarene, well out of our reach. I feel privileged that I was able to see the Black Nazarene in person and share my prayers with God in this holy space.
