Nazareno 2025 traslacion takes 20 hours, draws 8.1 million devotees

The Traslacion procession of the image of Jesus Nazareno began at 4:41 a.m. on January 9, 2025, from the Quirino Grandstand in Manila.

Two ropes of the andas broke during the procession, requiring devotees to push the carriage manually.

This year's traslacion took exactly 20 hours and 45 minutes, significantly longer than the previous year's 14 hours and 59 minutes.

The Philippine National Police (PNP) estimated that over 8.1 million devotees participated in the event, a significant increase from 2024's 6.5 million.

PNP Chief, Police General Rommel Francisco Marbil lauded the public for cooperating with authorities and the police force for ensuring the event was peaceful and orderly, concluding without any major untoward incidents.

The original image of Jesus Nazareno finally arrived at the Minor Basilica and National Shrine of Jesus Nazareno, or Quiapo Church, at 1:26 a.m. on January 10, 2025.

Nazareno 2025 marks the first celebration since it was declared a "national feast," which all dioceses in the country will observe, according to Quiapo Church rector and bishop-elect Jun Sescon Jr.
