Philippines - Statue attracts throngs
Print Edition
Hundreds of thousands of barefoot devotees poured into Manila on Thursday for one of the world’s biggest Catholic parades, honoring an ebony statue of Jesus Christ they believe has miraculous powers.
Braving the crowds and suffocating heat, pilgrims clambered over one another to touch the Black Nazarene statue during its slow procession of 6 kilometers from the capital’s main park to a historic church.
Two devotees attending the parade were nearly crushed and had to be escorted to an ambulance by volunteers after the crowd broke through a steel barrier that was protecting the statue’s carriage before the march began.
