Hello, Hive Community! ✨
These photos capture the enduring spirit of Quiapo Church (also known as the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene) on October 31, 2025. This church holds the miraculous Jesús Nazareno, a dark statue of Jesus Christ that is the object of profound devotion.
It was a significant day, a Friday, the last of the month, and Halloween. Yet, beyond any occasion, this place is always teeming with people, its doors open to the faithful every day.
The Black Nazarene has been a cornerstone of my faith. This church has been my refuge in moments of trouble and my first destination whenever I had a serious plea.
You might call me a passionately crazy believer, and I would agree! In my heart, I know that every earnest prayer I have whispered here has been answered.
Today, however, my visit was different. It was the first time I went there since I am living in Manila in the Philippines again. I didn't come with a list of requests. I came with a heart full of gratitude, to simply say "thank you" for the abundant blessings I already have in my life!
And now just enjoy the photos of my beloved Quiapo Church!
It must have been a nice experience to see your 'old' church again. I wish you all the best in the Philippines!
Thank you so much @jaki01 .. Risky to do new things for living but I trust myself. Hope always with me so that I keep going with courage. Looking forward Filipinas!!! Buena Suerte to me...
You are very welcome!
beautiful church and so nice to see all those ppl there! :)
Yes, it was a nice, peaceful feeling to be together with so many like-minded people there.
Hello, friend, it is wonderful to give thanks for so many blessings received. My mother is a devout believer in the Nazarene. During her youth, she used to go to church to pray, and she tells me that all her prayers were answered. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful testimony of faith. Sending you a big hug!
Thank you for your beautiful comment, @kristal24! Please send my warm greetings to your mother also... maybe she likes to read my post. 😊
