Lonely Planet review

Quiapo Church is a 1933 replacement of an older structure destroyed by fire. Its cream-coloured edifice is designed along baroque lines and the church is one of Manila's best-known landmarks. A Catholic parish since 1586, Quiapo is the home of the Black Nazarene, an image of Christ believed to be miraculous. The life-size statue, carved from ebony, was first brought to Quiapo in 1767. Twice a year the greatly revered image is carried on the shoulders of thousands of frenzied devotees in one of Manila's biggest religious festivals, the Black Nazarene Procession.
