The Minor Basilica of Black Nazarene was located in the heart of Manila the place known as "QUIAPO". along Quezon Blvd. The Black Nazarene refers to a life-sized, dark-colored statue of Jesus Christ that was brought to Manila, Philippines, from Mexico on May 31, 1606, by the first group of Augustinian Recollect friars sent by Spain. The image was charred black in a fire that broke out on the ship during its trip to Manila from Mexico. Many devotees are from different places in luzon and the area of the Philippines gathered and went for a mass every 1st of Friday and every friday for the novena and prayer asking for blessing, healing and miracle that they are asking. Quiapo Church is now open and the restriction was also lifted and we can now go here. So all the devotees of our father Black Nazarene you can come here anytime our Father Black Nazarene is waiting for you. Like the story of the prodigal son he will wait for you open arm and accept you just repent and be a good person.

I finally visited Black Nazarene in Quiapo, Metro Manila. Always seen it thru tv or any platform of social media. I've felt sincerely grateful, happy and blessed. I went there alone, from Parañaque to Baclaran then taking ride thru LRT1 drop to Carriedo station which cost Php20 only(LRT fare). From Carriedo station walked 5-10 min going to Church. Tips for not to get lost every travel, must search and check the area or destination first. God Bless ❤️

This church have a lot of devotee so be ready for crowd. Please be careful with people who would aggressively ask you to buy some religious relics for donation. Do not get fooled.

my sanctuary... feels good whenever I'm here... not so crowded and social distancing is highly monitored..

This is a newly renovated place which now looks like a tiny mall. They have 24/7 paid parking at the 2nd floor. - all mass attendees need to proceed at Carriedo area where you have to fall in line and wait for the church officers to give you a contact tracing form. You will see the yellow markings on the street once u reach there. - all fully vaccinated must show their vaccination card before you will be given a contact tracing form - those who are partially/not yet vaccinated, your line is on the right side (when facing the church). Sometimes they will only allow you for 'padungaw' depending on the amount of crowd for the day - earliest mass is at 5am, and there's no mass at 11am. Mass resumes at 12nn then 130pm in the afternoon - bring your own pen & wear comfortable clothes as you might fall in line for about 30mins or more - as of nov 7, 2021 church capacity has been increased (4 persons per row) so better be early to secure a seat - buy your religious items before going inside. They will bless them at the end of each mass by going to your designated seats - wear mask at all times and bring your faceshield. The church's health & safety protocol is very strict. Hope this helps. All the effort, sweat, and battling the usual crowd of Manila will be all worth it after you attended the mass. It will bring you the joy you crave, and the humility you need. ❤

My fav church since I was a kid.Quiapo Church has a great memories in me.My Mom and I ,we visit the church every Friday and even Sunday after the mass we ate merienda like pancit canton,siopao or mami.So, when you are in Sta.Cruz don't forget to visit or to drop by to Quiapo Church.

The home of the black nazareno. Crowded surroundings. You can hear surrounding noises even when you are inside the church. But still too many devotees love to visit this old church. Beware if you visit here, there are too many pickpockets roaming around looking for targets.

I am a Catholic and every Holy Place I go is a five star for me. So please disregard my stars as this is given subjectively. My last visit was 20 years ago! It's all the same so far. Probably so many improvements inside the church but not so much change in the vicinity. Mass schedule - hourly. Face mask is still required although nobody is strictly checking. Still, it's best you bring one with you. Parking - glad we found a spot! It's beside Mercury store. 50 pesos per hour.

So atmospheric. The Basilica was very crowded inside and out. Felt so good to be part of 2nd Jan mass

Majestic church! Lots of pews and rather crowded, but it still feels peaceful. Beautiful altar. There exists an orderly system for crowd control. Lots of vendors outside selling candles and figurines.

It was my birthday when i visited the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene. Still observing the protocol. So solemn. Wishing the Lord grant my prayers.

Nice and huge basilica. The outside looks as grand as the inside. There were lots of devotees praying when I visited. Easy location as well, near the LRT station. Just outside the church, there are also many small street side stall selling candles and items for prayer

Ah, the iconic Quiapo Church. Majestic and impressive indeed, just like you've seen on TV. Stepping inside, you're greeted with a throng of devotees, filling the space with their prayers and reverence. Outside the church compound is a bustling area, teeming with vendors and various activities, adding to the vibrant atmosphere. It's definitely a must-visit spot, but a word of caution: amidst the hustle and bustle, keep your guard up as there are unfortunately many scammers in the area. But overall, the Quiapo Church offers a profound and culturally rich experience that's worth exploring.

One of the most famous yet oldest church in the Philippines. This is also where Black Nazarene will be seen and devotions will be observed every January.

You can feel the holiness. Observing safety protocol. My only worry is on the distancing on the pews. When the one seating at the back and the one in front is still seating, there ia no distancing anymore.

I feel a deeply happy also my spiritual life ..

Every devotee to the black Nazarene are exitd and happy to visit the church. It is a place to relax and to ask for His devine help and intervention. Please guide us and keep us safe Poong Hesus Nazareno..

The only place of holiness and place of the devoted of Black Nazarene ☝️🙏

After years of it being closed due to the Pandemic, last Friday (April 8, 2022), the church finally opened the "Pahalik" sa Paa ni Hesus Nazareno. I took the train from LRT Marikina to Recto, the rain was pouring hard and I was drenched on it. When I was on the Padasal Section of the church (left side if you are facing the church), church ladies were calling out people telling them that it has opened again. I took the chance, I was the last in line so I was kind of excited. compared to the pahalik before that will only let you swipe for a second and send you down right away, I had more time with Jesus and it was immaculate.

A truly significant landmark in Quiapo, Manila, not just for its religious importance but also for its cultural and historical value. There is nothing to not like the place. Good time to visit is early in the morning as there non much of people.

The Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene, widely known as the Quiapo Church is one of the most famous basilicas in the metro. It holds in it the Black Nazarene, a statue of Jesus Christ carrying a cross that is said to be miraculous. The Quiapo church is also considered as the church of the masses as it is described as “Kanlungan ng mga Mahihirap."

We were there during this year's Traslacion (Jan. 2024). Wide screen LCD monitors were set up In different locations for the benefit of the large crowd of devotees and churchgoers.

Located in the heart of Manila, Quiapo Church is a place of spiritual significance and cultural heritage. Its striking façade, adorned with intricate details and towering spires, captures the attention of visitors from afar. Stepping inside, one is immediately enveloped in a sense of reverence and history. The interior of Quiapo Church is awe-inspiring, with its high ceilings, grand arches, and ornate decorations. The atmosphere is both solemn and vibrant, as worshippers come to pay homage to the Black Nazarene, a revered icon believed to perform miracles. The church's rich history dates back to the Spanish colonial era, and it has since become a symbol of faith and devotion for Filipinos from all walks of life. The surrounding area, known as Quiapo, buzzes with activity, offering a glimpse into Manila's bustling street life and cultural diversity. Despite its age, Quiapo Church remains a beacon of spirituality and a testament to the enduring faith of the Filipino people. Whether you're a devout Catholic or a curious traveler, a visit to Quiapo Church is an experience not to be missed.

Not too crowded now and they are implementing health protocols so its safe to come devote or not.

Nothing beats the divine and peaceful feeling when you are inside the Basilica. Church personnel are strictly enforcing social/physical distancing and limiting the number of people inside the church. They observe hand hygiene of goers including wearing of masks and face shield. People are cooperative.

Surprisingly clean! All the roads leading to Quiapo Church are in order! Thanks to the efforts of Mayor Isko et al.

Even though I could not go inside because of CV 19 pandemic, I attended an outdoor mass there. The whole area was bustling with street vendors. Well maintained basilica. Very authentic Filipino feel.

a good place for your faith. always have people praying. some vehicles stop beside the road just a moment just pray for a minute people passing by. walking or in moving vehicles make the sign of the cross for prayer or blessings one of the oldest church i believe. maybe try google it.

Place where I met my wife

this is the church that i want to explore it is so shiny cool looking church good luck WHAT A MIRACLE

This July 30, 2023!

Very solemn. They are following very strict Health and Safety protocols. I'm emotional experiencing a mass here.

Very organized. All pews have color coding for easy entrance and exit of church goers. Still not operating at full capacity.

There is continuously a mass in this church specially on Fridays. First friday of the month is special for those devoted to this church. Vendors sell candles, herbs, flowers and religious articles outside this church. There is a parking lot which is usually full and it is not recommended to leave your car unattended. Nearby are all sorts of stores and the local market. The church is good for praying and contemplating. It has a black cross with A figure of Jesus nailed to it, the only remnant of the old burnt church.

There's no other word to describe Quiapo Church but a solace. I consider this place as my solace everytime and I'm down and low tired and weary. Even in winning or losing this place made an impactful part of my life.

Basilica of the Black Nazarene is one of the oldest church here in the philippines, located at Quiapo, Manila.

The haven of the Black Nazarene is located at the heart of Plaza Miranda in Quiapo. Although it becomes particularly hectic in the afternoons as devotees heading home drop by to say their prayers or hear the afternoon mass. In spite of people walking here and there, the inside of the church will embrace you with a mixed feeling of devotion, humility, surrender and hope. WEhn you enter the church, the great feeling of rush truns into a blur as you soak on deep prayer mode. And feeling of rush comes back as you step out of the church. You should go and feel it for yourself. -- and share your exeprience here.

Quiapo Church as popularly known is Menor Basilica of Saint John de Baptist. Located in downtown Manila at Plaza Miranda. Devotees of the Nazarene flock to the church every Friday for their Novena prayers. The Church is open early morning till evening to accommodate devotees. The church also offers medical mission to the indigents and there is also a night schooling being offered

Little bit chaos in the area

Jesus, bless what you have given, Feed our souls with bread from heaven; Guide and lead us all the way, In all that we may do and say. Amen.

It's my first time to visit this place and I feel amazed, cause this is my dream when I was a kid to get there🥰

It was my first time in the place and I feel so uplifted and blessed to visit the miraculous place of Black Nazarene. Good day to end the year 2023. So happy and amazed. Thank you Lord God for the opportunity of visiting the church and saw the relic itself of Black Nazarene.💖💖💖💖✨🙏

You can really feel the solemnity of the church. A very beautiful church to pray and strengthen your faith.

Summer feels

The church has always been well organized with influx of believers.

A home for your spiritual needs

One of the holiest place in the Philippines can be found in Quiapo Manila

Visit minor basilica

(Translated by Google) Hopefully there is only a certain place to buy stuffs like religious items so that some vendors do not disturb your solemn moment praying. Nothing against them since they only want to earn for living but. (Original) Sana may isang certain place lang to buy stuffs like religious items para hindi naiistorbo ng ilang vendors yung solemn moment mo praying. Nothing against them since theybare only want to earn for living pero.may iolan kasi kahit nagdadasal ka or kalagitnaan ng mass lalapit sayo aalukin ka.

WOW

I'm always amazed and awe-inspired with the myriads of stories of faith, hope, and devotion to the Black Nazarene that deeply rooted back to our Spanish Colonial Era. I don't consider Quiapo Church as it is per se, but also, a vital spiritual hospital to me because I go here regularly to take my Sacrament of Confession and pray fervently to Nuestro Padre Jesus Nazareno, as if He is infront of me, while I open up my own heart to Him. In these trying times, may the structure of this old and historic church, endured the best and worst of our times, may serve as an inspiration for us to keep on moving forward, while strengthening our faith to the Lord, amidst all the hardships, setbacks, discouragement, confusion, and doubt. Amen.

I miss this place. I feel sad because last time I visited here ast August 29 2021 it's close no body can enter inside even only beside the church very limited to standby because of the covid 😭 I feel so blesse every time I came here❤

Devotion to the Black Nazarene 🙏 Saturday Anticipated Mass starts at 4pm & 5pm.

Black nazarene 2022 yes jesus christ bambi and samson

Too crowded today, 1st Friday, Oct 1st, 2021. Security personnel were so rude to the devotees as well as to the people who passed by to offer their prayers to the patron The Black Nazarene. Streets were blocked and it's extremely difficult to navigate the small area leading to the church. Just like you're doing your christmas shopping in Divisoria, that's the vibe i felt today.

Mecca of sort ..center of our catholic faith...limited persons allowed inside the church...but a huge screen tv monitor is placed outside for others who cannot be accomodated inside due to health and safety protocols being implemented.

It's a given that when you visit the Quiapo church, homeless people will he there seeking refuge especially when it's raining, which was the case when we went there. Other than that, it's less congested moving about is easier except for some areas wherein some vendors still get in the way, do you would have to go around and find your way in and out.

Its so nice hotel clean and fast internet..food is absolutely good.

Its our house of worship..house of BB..house of my never ending praise to the great Almighty...

Considered to be one of the main Catholic centres and churches of Metro Manila, this place and the general area it is located in is always packed with people. What's interesting is that it's a stone's throw away from the Muslim Centre. Parking is difficult here and walking on foot is recommended but you need to be careful as there are plenty of pickpockets in the area.

People from nearly all walks of life here today, November 23, 2021, Tuesday are productive and resilient.

Quiapo Church minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene.A must place for every Catholic to visit and worship. Historical Church founded 1586 and completed 1984. Best time to visit is Saturday less crowded.

A well known and visited church in Manila. Lots of people enters here everyday to pray. Guards inside have their task full making sure everybody are safe and distanced from each other.

Following health protocols strictly and they have persons inside that will guide you.

keep safe. God bless

September.22.2019 sa Quiapo church It was the last trip in pinas ( covid kc)

I visited poong jesus nazareno, today is closed.. i prayed outside the church.

This church is well-known to be the house of the Black Nazarene statue that is often celebrated every January. The church is larger, enough to accommodate people while mass is ongoing, and located near the road so it's accessible to people who want to stop and pray.

Its a nice place but this time there are restrictions so you cannot go near the church just like before this pandemic COVID19. I went here last Dec. 23 to go to a cellphone trchnician in plaza Mirand

Great place accesible and solem but because of the covid a lot lot of church goer didnt observe social distancing specially the churc premises which is close to the public market , can't blame the people though it's our faith that made us stay strong despite of pandemic , so help us God

Solemn and holy place, great place to find mystical gems, amulet, sacred relics and healing oil.

Good to be back since 2 years of pandemic, so far, physical distance is always followed inside the church. There are a lot of church usher roaming around the church to ensure COVID-19 health protocols are strictly followed

Papa Nazareno never ceases to show his love and compassion to us. He is loyal and always keeping His promise and showers us with abundant blessings. Also, amazingly proud to see how clean and organize Quiapo church now. May our dear Lord bless and keep you All as you visit Him every Friday or any days of the week. Just make sure to show support to protocols to maintain order and cleanliness🙏🙏🙏

Old landmark church that is home to Manilans favorite spiritual icon, the Black Nazarene, and dedicated to John the Baptist... The Hijos de Nazareno lay confraternity capably organizes the inflow and outflow of pilgrims and massgoers. Fridays are most crowded.

Solemn mass everyday. Nice structure of the Basilica. One of the best. Lots of people attended during the mass..

First timer here and upon seeing the black Nazarene, it sent chills down my spine. Make sure to offer a prayer while you’re at it. Went here early in the morning from a flight and our experience wouldn’t have been any better.

Home of the miraculous Black Nazarene, Quiapo Church in which, known as the Church of the Poor. The church in Baroque style with its decorative ornamentation found on its facade and precast concrete. A Baroque interior and dome. Fridays, a friday of devotion, where devotees are flooding to venerate the image of the Black Nazarene. People line up to touch or kiss the Nazareth's feet, locally called as Pahalik or as you may wipe handkerchief to the image.

Sabe ko sa Mahal na Nazareno Last year, sana maisama namen ang mga bata sa sunod na dalaw namen, little did know he planned something bigger than our prayer! 🙏🏻🙌🏻 "WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT, I, THE LORD, WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN." -ISAIAH 60:22 💖 Thank you Rev.

Try to visit this place when there isn’t a Mass on. Had heard of this place since I was a child and thought it was worth a visit on the list of sightseeing things to do in Manila. A little disappointed that it a mass was on at the time of our visit as we were not able to visit the statue of the Black Nazarene up close. Despite that, it was a good atmosphere there and really interesting to see daily life in the Philippines. Not sure it is definitely worth another visit but I would like to see the procession of the Black Nazarene when it is on.

Good, many officer and staff of the church are accommodating and really looking out for the people around the area. One civilian has passed out and urgently assisted by wheelchair of the staffs. They also guided the people to lineup. There are police officers also around the area. Just too crowded due to many business markets around the church and many people cant easily move or pass through the streets.

At this point in my life,once you step into this place even at the longest sight of your eyes from the church you feel the lightness of heart and the sincerity of those who prayed and asked for prayers for the fulfillment of every dream and goal not only for themselves but also for the many devotees.

My heart is always peaceful after every visit to this church. Always full of people praying & buying stuff from stalls outside the church.

One of the popular shrines in Filipina. Plenty of visitors make a spiritual journey to this place. The interior of the Basilica is very amazing. There's also a statue of John The Baptist outside the Basilica because this church is presented to the St. John The Baptist for his patronage.

Every Wednesday I pay visit to Minor Basilica black Nazarene, always full of people who's Asking forgiving sins,Asking for Guidance and Protection,from 6am -8pm a lot patron will be seen in this Place.

It's my first time being in this church, theirs many vendors surrounding the church. It's huge & very popular to devouts. I'm together with my family when I've visited this church

A nostalgic and historical church! The black Nazareth is a tourist attraction.

Healing and praying of the black Nazarene
