Feast of the Black Nazarene


The photo above was shared by fellow cdo blogger, Rob Bana. It was taken during the feast of the Black Nazarene... I did not expect that devotees here in Cagayan de Oro are as many as that in the photo..

As shared by Rob, "the Black Nazarene is a life-sized, dark-colored, wooden sculpture of Jesus Christ held to be miraculous by many people, especially its Filipino devotees. Its original carver is an anonymous Mexican carpenter, and the image was transported by a galleon from Mexico".
