00:00Long live Jesus Nazareno!
00:09Good day to you all.
00:11A few days ago, the image of Jesus Nazareno was returned to the Minor Basilica and National Shrine of Jesus Nazareno, Okiapu Church.
00:20The translation took almost 21 hours, one of the longest in the past year.
00:27First news, Darlene Kyle.
00:33More than 20 hours was the duration of the translation of the image of Jesus Nazareno this year.
00:40The procession started at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila at 4.41 am yesterday.
00:47The procession arrived at Okiapu Church at 1.26 am.
00:52In every route that the procession traveled,
00:55some of the devotees who wanted to worship the image of Jesus Nazareno,
00:59would find themselves in the middle of the sea.
01:01The police chased them away, but there were still some who dared to approach and worship the image of Jesus Nazareno.
01:05Several times, the image of Jesus Nazareno was stolen.
01:08The image of Jesus Nazareno could no longer be seen on either side of the road.
01:12That is why the devotees climbed on its back.
01:15Because of this, the image of Jesus Nazareno was stolen several times.
01:19It was also difficult for the procession from Calia, Palanca to Villalobos because of the large number of people.
01:25Some of the devotees tied their bamboos to try to worship the image of Jesus.
01:31We tied our bamboos so that we can worship the image of Jesus.
01:35And also so that we can kiss the image of Jesus.
01:38So you were able to worship the image of Jesus?
01:40Yes, we were able to worship the image of Jesus.
01:43Some of the devotees waited in line for the translation,
01:47just like the 77-year-old father, Manny, who has a prostate problem.
01:51I am thankful that until now, I am still able to do it.
01:55And the things that I feel are lessened.
01:59Mr. Jasmine waited here because he has 10 children with him.
02:04They walked from Pasay City.
02:07Aside from praying for salvation and healing,
02:10they also wanted to thank God for the miracle that the Lord gave to their family.
02:16The most important thing that happened to us was that my uncle was released from prison.
02:27He gave us faith and listened to us.
02:32Mother Teresita, 72 years old,
02:34Ms. Teresita said that for the first time,
02:36the entire Nazarene was not able to attend the translation for more than six decades.
02:41She did not wait for the procession because she was tired.
02:45I am tired. I want to go home.
02:47I want to go home.
02:48I want to go straight home.
02:50I want to stop, but there are a lot of people.
02:53The sincere devotion of the devotees
02:56was greatly appreciated by the French photographer, Jean Marie.
03:00The translation was perfect for her vacation in the Philippines,
03:02so he did it on purpose.
03:04I feel great.
03:05For me, it's special because in Europe,
03:08the religion decreases.
03:10Here, for me, this is the most Catholic country in Asia.
03:15So, I'm very surprised.
03:17Even though it took more than 20 hours
03:19for the entire Nazarene to return to the Church Of Christ of Latter-day Saints,
03:23it was worth the wait for the devotees,
03:25like Ms. Selly,
03:27who did not go home until the entire Nazarene could go home.
03:30It feels good.
03:32It's like you're on a bed and you don't know what's going to happen.
03:36You smile from the bottom of your heart
03:39when you feel the presence of the entire Nazarene.
03:46That's the first news in Quiapo.
