The Philippine Red Cross (PRC) reminded Black Nazarene devotees Saturday to follow basic safety protocols such as wearing face mask and face shield in public areas and observing physical distancing throughout the event to help stop the spread of the coronavirus.
PRC annually assists in the celebration of the Feast of the Black Nazarene by providing first aid and emergency medical care to individuals suffering from injuries brought by accidents that occur during the event.
This year, even with the COVID-10 pandemic, PRC continued to be part of the Quiapo feast.
The Feast of the Black Nazarene is celebrated by millions of Catholics from all over the country through the celebration of Mass and partaking in the procession known as the “Traslacion.”
