Quiapo Church, officially known as the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene, is a prominent Roman Catholic church located in the district of Quiapo, Manila, Philippines.

It is renowned for housing the Black Nazarene, a life-sized dark wooden statue of Jesus Christ carrying the cross, which is believed to be miraculous by many devotees.

The church is a significant religious site and cultural landmark in the Philippines. Every January 9, millions of devotees participate in the annual Feast of the Black Nazarene, which includes a massive procession known as the Traslación, where the statue is paraded through the streets of Manila. This event attracts pilgrims from all over the country and is one of the largest religious gatherings in the world.

Quiapo Church’s history dates back to the late 16th century, and it has undergone several reconstructions due to damage from earthquakes and fires. Today, it stands as a symbol of faith and resilience for many Filipino Catholics.

Participating in a Mass at Quiapo Church can provide a deeper spiritual experience and an insightful glimpse into the local religious practices.

Within the church grounds, there are designated areas where visitors may respectfully light candles for prayers and contemplation. Additionally, various stalls around the church offer a variety of religious items, including rosaries, prayer books, and statues, for purchase.

Viva Poong Hesus Nazareno!Truly, the hordes of devotees flocking from early morning to night every Biyernes, especially the first Friday, is proof of the miracles many have received.They also give charity and feeding to the poor in the vicinity and extend help to others afar.Since there are many people, be vigilant and simple.There are 3 entrances - Carriedo side, Plaza Miranda side and Quezon Boulevard side. Hijos are watching over them.If I may give a suggestion - some covering or shade for the churchgoers outside, particularly in Carriedo side. Not to complain, but as someone said, it gets really hot.All around here are sellers of religious items and also wet market, even hilot and fortune tellers.Comfort room is difficult to access (beyond the parish office), so better relieve yourself in the fastfoods around.Regarding pahalik, entrance is in Evangelista street, exit at Quezon Blvd.The best thing is that there are frequent confessions held here, and sprinkling of Holy Water after Masses.We also go here every Fiesta and the crowd really is unimaginably immense that one might feel faint or suffocated. Nazareno understands it, so for safety, we go here but are already content to look from afar like in the overpass.

when the church has a mass, the street is crowded, just keep the important things because there are still many pickpockets.
