It was a test of faith when the world welcomed 2020, especially for the Philippines. With the long list of unfortunate events during the pandemic, everyone was down on their knees, one way or another. But if there\u2019s one thing that Filipinos can be proud of,\u00a0they always choose faith over fear above all.<\/p>\n

Faith, in Filipino culture, is often manifested through their devotion. It can be seen in their traditions and festivals. And every year\u00a0on\u00a0<\/span>January 9th, the\u00a0Feast of the Black Nazarene<\/b>\u00a0is celebrated. This is one of the biggest and the first feast of the year.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The feast is known for\u00a0traslacion<\/i>\u00a0(to transfer), a procession of moving the Black Nazarene from the Quirino Grandstand in Luneta to the Basilica of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo.<\/p>\n

Devotees join the procession as a way of\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u201cpanata<\/em>\u201d or vow for accepting miracles and signs of gratitude. However, Manila Mayor\u00a0Francisco \u2018Isko Moreno\u2019 Domagoso<\/strong>\u00a0announced last October 2020 that the annual\u00a0traslacion <\/em>for 2021\u00a0is canceled due to pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cImportant announcement for all Manilenyos. The Manila LGU and the Quiapo Church have decided that the grand procession of the Black Nazarene for the Traslacion in January will no longer push through. Let us avoid during this time these processions and parades because there is still the Covid-19 pandemic,\u201d he announced via social media.<\/p>\n

The mayor believes that public safety should be prioritized.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur devotees may be put at risk. There are things that we can\u2019t control but can be avoided. If thousands will attend and only one gets infected and then everyone gets too close to one another, perspiring, it is very dangerous,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
