Devotees

Members of the Manila Police SWAT fan out within the perimeters of the Quiapo Church to secure the devotees attending mass celebration on Thursday, two days ahead of the Feast of the Black Nazarene. Instead of the annual traslacion or procession of the venerated image of the Black Nazarene, 15 masses will be held in the church on Saturday from 4:30 a.m.  to 10:15 p.m. with attendees limited to 30 percent of the church capacity.
