00:00Long live Jesus, Nazarene! Long live Jesus, Nazarene!
00:08There was no sign of fatigue or tiredness on the faces of the devotees
00:11who gathered last night at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila
00:15for a few-second opportunity to pay homage to the whole of Jesus Nazarene.
00:19The planned start of the tradition at 12 o'clock in the evening this Tuesday
00:24was earlier, following the mass for the volunteers at the Quirino Grandstand last night.
00:30Mother Mary Jane traveled alone from Pangasinan and was alone at the Quirino Grandstand for the first time.
00:35While Mother Mary Jane was getting closer and closer to the image of Jesus Nazarene,
00:40her neighbor in Rosario was also getting closer to her while she was praying.
00:44For my children, for them, I am always praying.
00:49My children, I came here for you.
00:58For the first time, that is what I am asking from Him.
01:02I hope that He will guide me. I hope that He will give me.
01:13Mother Christine carried her two-year-old child while she was in line.
01:18She was told by her parents to write a letter of faith to Jesus Nazarene,
01:23so early in the morning, she wanted to give this to her child.
01:27In every trial in life, there is always someone listening to you.
01:31Sometimes, it is just instant, you just pray, and the answer to your prayer is already there.
01:36Some of the people we talked to were already on their way
01:40so that they could not keep up with the expected number of devotees later.
01:44The procession to the Quirino Grandstand in Nazareno will continue until January 9.
01:49The leadership of Menor Basilica and National Shrine of Jesus Nazareno
01:54will sanitize before and after touching the image.
01:58And even if it is known as kissing,
02:01they want to avoid for the devotees the literal kiss.
02:05Instead, they just wipe the cloth and towel on the cross and foot of the image.
02:10This is the first news.
