More Than 20,000 Devotees Flock to Quiapo Church for Traslacion 2021, Manila PIO Says
The Manila Public Information Office (PIO) reported that over 20,000 devotees have flocked to Quiapo Church for Traslacion 2021.
On Saturday morning (January 9, 2021), the Manila Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO) reported that 22,840 devotees have been recorded along the vicinity of Quiapo Church.
However, only 400 devotees are allowed to enter the Church premises during the mass due to the safety protocols. The IATF recommends that only 30 percent of the maximum capacity are allowed to attend masses.
MDRRMO recorded around 130 devotees in San Sebastian Church, 100 devotees in Sta. Cruz Church and 80 devotees at the Nazarene Catholic School amid the threat of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Manila City government has removed some of the traditional events during the Feast of the Black Nazarene. “Pahalik” has been canceled and replaced by “pagtanaw” or “pagpupugay” to pay tribute to the wooden statue.

Quiapo Church would help a total of 15 masses at the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene instead of the traditional traslacion.
