Transcript
00:00And first of all, the preparations and activities for the feast of St. Jesus of Nazarene.
00:05We will be joined by the speaker of Nazarene 2025 and Minor Basilica and National Shrine of St. Jesus of Nazarene,
00:12Father Robert Arellano.
00:14Good morning, Father Arellano.
00:16Good morning to all of you, to all of our beloved hearts, and to all the devotees of our beloved St. Jesus of Nazarene.
00:26Father, how was your last-minute preparation?
00:28Are you going to do anything else before the feast of St. Jesus of Nazarene?
00:32We can say that we are ready because I always repeat to those who attended last year,
00:40that we started preparing just last August.
00:44That is why, during these times, we are doing our best in every discussion and preparation.
00:51That is why we can say that, since we have been doing this for years,
00:57we are ready for each and every committee and campaign for the celebration of the feast of St. Jesus of Nazarene.
01:06Father Arellano, did you make any changes to the design of the hall?
01:10We did not make any total changes.
01:13For example, the hall that we saw is still the same.
01:18We made some improvements.
01:21For example, we made a sunroof made of tempered glass.
01:28For now, the natural light enters the St. Jesus of Nazarene.
01:35And our brethren who are in the establishment, when they pass by the St. Jesus of Nazarene, they can also see it.
01:44We also strengthened the stainless metal that we can see in the hall.
01:53We also have a CCTV so that we can have simultaneous monitoring.
02:00Our command center is at the exact location of our procession.
02:06We also strengthened the wheels.
02:10But what we can see in the hall is still the same as last year.
02:15If you will notice, we strengthened it and made it more beautiful.
02:20And it will be more visible, Father?
02:23Yes, it will be more visible because we also removed the curtains so that people can see the St. Jesus of Nazarene more clearly
02:34and to have light inside the hall.
02:38Do you think that the procession will be faster this year?
02:43This is really our prayer because when we say that the return will be fast, it means that it will be well.
02:52This is our dream.
02:55As you can see, every translation is different depending on the person and depending on the help of the devotees who can also see the St. Jesus of Nazarene in the Church.
03:09But what we are doing to prepare is to make it better, faster, to save and to make every work successful.
03:18This is our dream and we hope that the devotees and those who can attend the procession can also help
03:26so that the history of what was done last year will be more visible.
03:32Because last year, it took almost 14 hours to bring the procession.
03:41The procession that will start tomorrow, what time will it open to the public, Father?
03:47As early as in the morning, we are already prepared for the procession.
03:53When we see that there are a lot of people, maybe even earlier in the morning, the procession will start.
04:02Because we are saying that we want to be saved, so depending on the heart of the person, it might be earlier.
04:10As we said, we are already prepared for these works.
04:14Of course, we are making adjustments depending on God's will.
04:20Thank you very much Father Robert Arellano, Nazareno 2025 at Capuchin Church Spokesperson.
04:26Be careful.
04:28Thank you very much.
04:29We just have one important reminder for our viewers, especially those who are translating.
04:37The procession is still prohibited, right?
04:41Because the procession is not saved in the first place.
04:45And in the procession of people, we cannot give the opportunity to other viewers
04:51and those who are waiting for the procession to see our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
04:56Thank you very much Father. Be careful.
04:59God bless you.
05:07God bless you.
