The procession of the Black Nazarene is the largest procession in the country.

It takes place on January the 9th and on Good Friday through the streets of Quiapo,

The procession dates from the 17th century. Thousands of men parade through the streets with the life-sized, black wooden statue of Jesus (of Nazarene).
