Because of the unique circumstances of this year’s feast, masses were held at the churches of Quiapo, Santa Cruz, and San Sebastian in lieu of the traditional Traslacion, the annual grand procession of the image from Quirino Grandstand to the church, an event attended annually by a crowd that could number millions.

The previous year’s Traslacion saw police personnel guarding the front and sides of the Black Nazarene’s carriage, leading to the image’s arrival at the church in a little more than 16 hours. The Traslacion from previous years had taken more than 20 hours.

COVID-19 protocols — such as physical distancing, mandatory wearing of face masks and face shields, and accommodating only 400 people per mass inside the church — were put in place by authorities to protect devotees from the virus as the country logged its highest case count in 3 weeks.
