In Philippine Capital Millions Gather To Touch Holy Relic

Description

More than a million Catholics joined this year's Traslacion, a dramatic religious parade returning a dark, life-size wooden statue of Jesus -- called the Black Nazarene -- to the Quiapo Church in Manila. The parade started Monday at the Quirino Grandstand, and the procession finally ended on Tuesday morning just after 3:30 a.m., local time, when the Black Nazarene statue was returned to the Quiapo Church. It's organized by the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), who on Sunday announced that 18 million participants from across the country were expected to join the procession.
