The Black Nazarene in January is one of the world's biggest shows of Catholic zeal. The 7-kilometer-long walk normally starts late at night. The crowds carry the statue from Luneta Park to the Quiapo Church. During the procession, devotees jostle to touch the statue which is believed to bring good luck.
