13,000 attend Traslacion in CDO, lower than previous years

An estimated 13,000 devotees attended the annual Jesus Nazareno procession, known as "Traslacion," in Cagayan de Oro City on Thursday, January 9, 2025, according to the Cagayan de Oro City Police Office (COCPO).

This year's attendance was lower than the 18,000 estimated in 2024, and significantly lower than the over 100,000 participants in 2023.

COCPO attributed the event's success to strong collaboration, volunteers, and the cooperation of devotees.

Mayor Rolando Uy spoke to the devotees about the procession's spiritual significance, stating, "May this give us strength in our daily activities, especially in serving the public."

The Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro began its Jesus Nazareno feast in 2009.
