Thousands in the Philippine capital Manila flooded the streets to celebrate a scaled-down version of the annual Feast of the Black Nazarene. Traditionally the country’s biggest display of Catholic devotion, hundreds of thousands of worshippers would walk in a procession behind a cart pulling a centuries-old statue of Jesus Christ, believed to have healing powers. But the procession was cancelled for two years owing to the pandemic. This year, organisers made changes to try and keep participant numbers down amid fears of a spike in cases.

They are not worshipping it, they are venerating it. You as journalists need to know how to word this properly.
Agreed.
As an agnostic communication student, I agree
Venerating? So why they dont do the same to the pictures of thier love ones ? When you kiss the foot of figure and so happy when your towel touches the figure it is worshipping dont sugar coat it hahaha. Show me video that these people kneel and pray in front of the pictures of their dead love ones maybe i would buy that argument. But still venerating is not the right word for what they are doing it is worshipping!
When they say "it grants their prayers" is not worshipping?
@@VM-ml3tn naaah the statue itself but the person it represents.
Long Live Catholics in the Philippines! Long Live Black Nazarene
How many times should Catholics correct you that they are VENERATING (NOT WORSHIPPING) the image. It is the Name of Jesus which the Nazareno image symbolize that gives healing and miracles and grace.
Don't mind the anti Christ
prove it
please be responsible in the proper use of words. There’s difference between “worship a….” statue and displaying devotion, veneration to statue. Be accountable always. Thanks!
Semantics? Pray tell. Are these cultists not worshipping a statue?
worship is a broad word...

I'm not a Christian because I'm not a fan of being held down by a belief we're not sure in, but I have to respect the devotion of the Catholic Filipinos to the religion.

Glad that the One Holy Apostolic Catholic Church founded by Jesus Himself find its way to the Philippines.
Although during the Spanish era it wasn't always nice.
@@lineanoves6650 yes because it is the Spanish government who executed heresy and not the Church.

@@lineanoves6650 yes agree. But you cannot deny that Jesus founded the Church. Just like He chose Judas as an Apostle. You cannot say the Apostleship is wrong because of the bad apple.
Jesus didn't start Catholicism.
im a Filipino and believe it or not, the black Nazarene had produced some incredible miracles for the people, specially those with incurable disease or cancers, that's why the people's devotion there is top notch
Sure Cool story bro
then we should abolish doctors and other health care providers
Lol
Paganism is a sin for christians, since it's stated even in the bible. I'm not religious but even I know the 10 commandments
Only for Tagalogs have miracles. Lol
So much hate on comment section... There's a lot of religion around the world instead of hating it, can you please respect their beliefs? If your beliefs not align to their beliefs it's okay no need to say such hurtful words.
Maybe because being a Christian, if you read the bible, it says not to worship Statues 🤷
The other "christian sects" often hate the Roman Catholics for "idolizing" statues of Jesus Christ and other Saints

I once participated on the black nazarene way back 2017. Unfortunately, my family moved to mindanao... southern part of the philippines
There is also a big Nazareno event there, in Cagayan de Oro City. Same date, January 9.
This is a better gathering than for a music festival, political gathering or those types of things. A peace gathering.
U know people die. With the crowd that big, they push each other just to touch the black nazareth. I know cause i live there and i never seen a deathless on that even for once, oh maybe on pandemic lockdown so there is a deathless run hahaha
Cult gathering..just spreading spreading virus
New variant creation?
yup, delusional gathering.
By lifting up SATAN?
You should see Cebu right now. It's quite the same.
But we even have a parade in the water. It's called a fluvial for those who don't know.
The similar one actually is the Peñafrancia fiesta in Naga City in Bicol....almost the same procession...last September close to 3 million people joined the procession. The Traslacion word actually was first use by Bicolanos, because the image of Lady of Penñfrancia is being transferred to Cathedral from Basilica every year for more than 400 years now. The Nazareno just use the word Traslacion in 2009 to reenact the transfer of the image from Manila bay to Quiapo.
Yep!
Please be mindful of the words being used. We do not "worship" the statue but the One who is visualized by the statue. Just to clarify things.
South China posts are always like that, because the writers are idiots.
Actually it doesnt worship it, It venerated the statue. venerated is different that worship
Incredible
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat? The BLIND leadeth the BLIND and both shall fall into the ditch! The bottomless pit!
Incredible idiots.
To all my friends, family, brothers and sisters I cannot see. I love you all and I hope you stay strong and loyal during these trying times.
Yes we do not worship the statue of Jesus I'm Christian faith.
0:02 It's supposed to say "...to venerate", not "...to worship". Catholics venerate images.
True
And that's noncatholics still misunderstand. Plus these fcking news outlets spreading wrong infos
Yes. I'm getting tired of correcting other people on their ignorance. It is very tiring to correct the blind and those who are pretending to be blind but we must persevere.
Proud
This article is disrespectful, put some dislike guys. 😭
yeah I reported for misinformation. Worship and Venerate are two different words.

Im a Catholic Filipino but for me this strays too much from the Christian message for my taste that it reeks of paganism and pointless idolatry.

The black nazarene is a representation of Jesus Crist. It amplifies our faith. The blank Nazarene somewhat becomes a link to the Holy Being I think.

there never been a stampede or tragedy happened during this event despite the huge crowd. i wonder why？
Stampedes were common in the previous years
Well, I wish Christians and Atheists/Agnostics would respect each other. I see that there is a commotion with this (even on comments).
If the Philippines is one contiguous land, 30 percent of the adult population will attend the procession.
When you think about it, Catholic was introduced to Philippines about 500 years ago, so they were one of the last countries to get onboard the hype train. While many other countries had it for a lot longer, those countries are not as devoted and lenient on religious / non religious practises such divorce and abortion. Religion has messed up Philippines big time.
It made the Philippines better. No idea what you’re talking about
Made better? Religious people in that country took "Go forth and multiply" literally to the point of being impoverished. Go there and see the squatters; so many kids yet no jobs, low wages, and little to no education = uninformed and easy to manipulate.

As a Filipino, This event it makes us poor and divided nation.
Anu daw? Hahaha
Lol how it became the reason why Philippines is poor and divided?! Do some research first before talking cauz fyi Philippines is not a poor country, our country is literally a developing country now so I dont know where you get that info, we maybe call poor compare to other big and rich countries but that doesn't mean our country is poor we literally have lots of resources that some are literally untouch, and tourist spots so don't call our country poor. And about the divided one lol 80 to 90% of the Philippines is literally Catholic maybe your are from other religion or doesn't have any religion at all that's why your saying things about divided people. Also if there is really a division in our country I dont think it's bcs of religion, I think its because of each peoples insight and perspective, mainly bcs of the government and political issues.
Care to explain how?
The State that is the filipino republic is held together by faith and tape. We as a nation have the luxury to have a religious monogamy, Remember Indonesian irredentism, The Malay Crisis and the attrocities of the khmer rogue. Most of those tragedy stem from the lack of unifying power or commonality which united said nations which divided post-colonial south east asia. I am not going to say that christianity was that main unifying factor nor that the lack of religion caused those tragedy, All i am saying that a nation like the philipines was partly unified and remain intact due to christianity.
Dont use mindanao as a example; The southern island is majority christian with a large muslim population

Yeah better than countries where stampede happens during haloween or soccer games
Cause they use to these kind of crowd❤❤

too many people..
Honest question, why is the religion you grew up in more believable to you than other religions? Is it indoctrination? Is it lack of time/opportunity/effort to understand other religions? If most religions are just different paths to leading a moral life, why does it cause so much division and hatred around the world? It's like some extreme people don't practice what they preach.
Sorry to say this but are you dictating us? The statement sounds inconveniently imperative.
No, it’s because we have proof like miracles to know that it is in fact, the true religion.
All religions are not the same and all followers of the same religion in name aren't the same as well. There are many causes of divisions like politics, territory, money, relationships, nationality and many more. Atheistic leaders are the worst kind like Mao Zedong and Joseph Stalin that killed a total of 65 million of their people marking the 20th century as the bloodiest century in the history of mankind.
