Close to 400 devotees were injured amidst the return of the grand parade of the life-size statue of the Black Nazarene after a three year Covid-19 pandemic that forced officials to ban the event. The Black Nazarene feast day honoring Jesus Christ is one of the first major celebrations for Catholics at the start of every year, and is highlighted by a whole day procession of barefoot devotees.
