The Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene

Beautiful historical church in the middle of the city. The church offering hourly mass. In order to get in, you will need to wait at the front of the church where the big square is located (I believe there’s another waiting area at the left wing of the church). It can get very crowded leading to the start of each mass. I was there at 9.30am for a 10am Sunday morning mass. There were already at least 50-100 people waiting. You can see my picture below to gauge the crowd close to 10am. They will allow the previous attendees exit from the right wing and start opening the gate once they have empty the church, very well manage! Once I get inside, I was able to get a seat and it was very windy. I had a wonderful Sunday mass and the experience has been very pleasant thanks to the well organized committee members :)

Quiapo church has been such a blessing to many Filipinos. It’s heartwarming to see many people have strong faith to God. 🤍

It is one of the most visited churches in Manila. There are many people who wait outside just to attend the mass. You can feel the spirit of faith and devotion inside the church.

When u visit here, expect that u will emerge to a crowd. Bring umbrella with u. The way they handle ceremony mass is very smooth. There are servers that will make a post and instructions which is good. And most of all is always best to pray to Sr. Nazareno.

My rest place in everything will be okay My spirit soul flesh feels like God's love and care
