Members of the Hijos de Nazareno from the Pilgrim City of Naga fervently pray before receiving the revered image from the chapel owned by the Redondo family in Barangay Palsong, Bula, Camarines Sur. This moment precedes the solemn transport of the image to Naga, setting the stage for the upcoming feast.

A harmonious collaboration between the Archdiocese of Caceres, the Holy Cross Parish in Barangay Tabuco, and the Hijos de Nazareno Bicol Unit Association, alongside the Samahan Para Birhen ng Kapayapaan at Mabuting Paglalakbay, is underway to mark the 35th year of the feast day of the Black Nazarene on January 9, 2024.

The preparations commenced on December 31, 2023, when the revered image of the Black Nazarene was transported from Barangay Palsong in Bula town (Camarines Sur) to the Holy Cross Parish. 

Here, a solemn series of religious rites, including the Holy Rosary, Novena to the Black Nazarene, and the singing of perdon, unfolded at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. This culminated in a 5:30 PM Holy Mass, a ritual set to extend until January 8, 2024.

From the first day of the Novenario Masses on December 31 to the ninth day on January 8, designated priests will serve as mass presiders, and organizations have been assigned as mass offerors to enrich this sacred observance.

On January 6, 2024, at 1:30 PM, the Holy Cross Parish will host a special formation for new members of the Hijos de Nazareno. 

As the anticipation builds on January 8, a transcendent traslacion procession will commence at 6:30 PM, featuring replicas of the Black Nazarene owned by devoted parishioners and devotees, in various sizes, parading from the parish to the Plaza Quezon.

The feast day on January 9, 2024, will be marked by a series of six fiesta masses at 6 AM, 9 AM, 12 PM, and 3 PM. At 5 PM, a grand pontifical concelebrated mass, led by Most Rev. Rolando Tria Tirona, Archbishop of Caceres, will grace the Plaza Quezon. A solemn penitential procession will unfold after this at 5 PM.

Culminating the day’s spiritual odyssey, the final mass, beginning at 8 PM, will resonate at the Holy Cross Parish. This concluding celebration will witness the procession of the Black Nazarene image.

THE image of the dark-skinned kneeling Jesus Christ was transported by way of a mobile procession to the Holy Cross Parish in Barangay Tabuco, Naga City on December 31, 2022 from the St. Joseph Parish in Barangay Palsong, Bula for the Black Nazarene festival in the city which is now on its 34th year. The event is traditionally commemorated with the feast of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo, Manila.
THE image of the dark-skinned kneeling Jesus Christ was transported by way of a mobile procession to the Holy Cross Parish in Barangay Tabuco, Naga City on December 31, 2022 from the St. Joseph Parish in Barangay Palsong, Bula for the Black Nazarene festival in the city which is now on its 34th year. The event is traditionally commemorated with the feast of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo, Manila.

SEVERAL hundred devotees of the Black Nazarene in Bicol Region are expected to troop to the Holy Cross Parish in Barangay Tabuco on January 9 this year to participate in the penitential procession that is expected to last 2 hours around the city’s historical Central Business District or Centro.

The procession, which coincides with the one being undertaken traditionally in Quiapo, Manila, is one of the major events being conducted in the city for 34 years now.

As prelude to the January 9 feast day, daily recitation of the holy rosary, novena and singing of perdon, and celebration of Misa Novenario in honor of Amang Nazareno are currently being conducted at the Holy Cross Parish in Barangay Tabuco.

The religious rites began on December 31, 2022 and will continue daily from 3 o’clock in the afternoon to 5:30 PM until January 8.

On January 8, at 6:30 in the evening, a traslacion procession will kick off from the parish to carry the image and the replicas of the Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage also known as the Our Lady of Antipolo to the Plaza Quezon in Centro Naga. The image of the Black Nazarene will stay until January 9 at the Plaza for public viewing and “pahadok”. The pahadok is a tradition and part of a culture not only of Catholics but especially of the devotees of the Nazarene who want to touch the venerated image of Jesus Christ.

Replicas of the Black Nazarene and the Lady owned by private families will be brought to the Plaza on January 8 by way of a traslacion procession. There will be a blessing of these replicas at the Plaza.

Rev. Fr. Eugene Lubigan, parish priest of the Holy Cross Parish, however, said that the pahadok this year will only be allowed by way of touching or wiping the image using a cotton moist with rose or baby oil to be provided by the members of the Hijos de Nazareno Bicol Unit Association.

“Pahadok does not literally mean that a pilgrim or a devotee will be kissing the image of Amang Nazareno as we still have to observe certain health and safety protocols against the Covid-19,” Brother Nico Sirios clarified. Sirios heads the committee on temporalities of the association.

Before the conduct of the penitential foot procession in the evening of January 9, this year, five fiesta masses are to be celebrated on the following hours: 6:00 in the morning, 9 o’clock AM, 12:00 noon, 3 o’clock PM and the pontifical concelebrated mass at 5:00 PM with Most Rev. Jose Alan Dialogo, Bishop of Sorsogon.

Following Bishop Dialogo’s Pontifical Mass is the foot procession leading to the Tabuco church. The procession will pass the streets of Elias Angeles, P. Burgos, Peñafrancia Avenue, Santonja, General Luna, and the Tabuco Bridge back to the Holy Cross Parish.
