The Traslacion is a daylong procession that brings the image of Jesus Nazareno from Quirino Grandstand to Quiapo Church.

Around 230,000 devotees were recorded to have attended the start of this year’s religious activity at 4 a.m. at the Quirino Grandstand, while 16,700 devotees gathered at the Minor Basilica and National Shrine of Jesus Nazareno, but this number is traditionally expected to reach more than a million.
