Palace calls for calm and order during the Feast of the Black Nazarene


MANILA, Jan. 9 -- The Palace has appealed for calm and order during the procession to be held in Manila on Friday for the Feast of the Black Nazarene.

"Nakikiisa po kami sa ating mga kababayan na mga deboto ng Mahal na Poong Nazareno. Nandiyan po ang panawagan ng pamahalaan na manatili silang mahinahon," Communication Secretary Herminio Coloma, Jr. said during a press briefing in Malacañang on Thursday.

"Isagawa po nila ‘yung kanilang debosyon sa isang paraan na mapapanatili ang kaayusan at seguridad ng nakararami at sumunod po sa patakarang ipapatupad ng mga awtoridad."

Secretary Coloma said the feast in Quiapo was mentioned as a reference for the security preparations for Pope Francis’ visit to the Philippines next week, which were discussed during President Benigno S. Aquino III’s meeting with Church leaders on Thursday.

The Feast of the Black Nazarene is always a relevant backdrop for large events such as the visit of Pope Francis because it deals with a very huge number of devotees, he said.

The traditional “Pahalik sa Poong Nazareno” began Thursday afternoon at the Quirino Grandstand.

This will be followed by a band parade at 3:30 p.m. Vespers will be held at 5 p.m. The overnight vigil begins at 5:30 p.m. and will last until 11:30 p.m.

A mass will be celebrated at midnight, to be officiated by Msgr. Jose Clemente F. Ignacio, rector and parish priest of the Quiapo Church.

At 6 a.m. on Friday, January 9, Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle will lead the Liturgy for Procession, to be followed by the grand “Traslacion” at 7 a.m. (PCOO/PND ((as) - See more at: http://news.pia.gov.ph/article/view/1781420707370/palace-calls-for-calm-and-order-during-the-feast-of-the-black-nazarene#sthash.ikqZU3cs.dpuf
