Millions of Filipinos showed their devotion to Jesus Nazareno after the Traslacion 2025 ended almost 21 hours. This year’s Traslacion marked the longest procession since 2020 as the streets turned into an ocean of maroon and yellow.
The annual procession was one of the longest in the last few years as it lasted for 20 hours, 45 minutes, and four seconds according to Quiapo church officials. The procession started at 4:41 a.m. on Thursday (Janury 09) and ended at 1:26 a.m. early Friday morning (January 10).
The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) reported that a cumulative estimate of 8,093,850 people attended the procession that brought the miraculous image of Jesus Nazareno from the Quirino Grandstand to Quiapo church.
The total was based on three areas that were monitored, namely: Quirino (1,264,790), Quiapo (6,442,050), and the procession (387,010). At the grandstand, there were 1,290,590 and 387,010 Central while at the shrine the crowd reached 6,446,450.
Meanwhile, the Manila Police District said no serious injuries and untoward incidents have been reported during the entire Traslacion. “Except for the foot injuries and hypertension experienced by some devotees.”
The Philippine Red Cross reported at least 1,300 minor injuries. Authorities said some devotees were going against the direction of Traslacion and a number of the devotees were hurt while trying to climb the andas, which also made the pace of the procession slower this year compared to 2024.
After Traslacion a lot of garbage was left in Quiapo, he Manila Department of Public Services said that as of Friday morning, they have hauled 42 trucks or 70 tons of garbage during Traslacion 2025.
Celebrated every January 9, the Traslacion commemorates the transfer of the image of the Jesus Nazarene from the San Nicolas de Tolentino Church in Intramuros to Quiapo Church in the 1700s.
