An estimated 88,000 devotees attended the first ever Walk of Faith in Manila before dawn on Sunday as part of the activities of the Feast of the Black Nazarene, according to the Quiapo Church Command Post.
Devotees brought candles, which they held all throughout the walk while singing worship songs and praying.
These just prove that the Walk of Faith was a success, said Fr. Earl Valdez of the Quiapo Church and one of the officials for the Nazareno 2023 activities. Police Captain Rowell Robles, Plaza Miranda commander, added that adequate preparations and measures were put in place which made way for a safe and peaceful Walk of Faith.
