Holy Week in the Philippines

Good Friday procession of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo, Manila. The Black Nazarene has a huge following in the Philippines, with many believing that the image has miraculous powers. Hundreds of devotees drag a carriage with the image for hours, barefoot and under a scorching sun, while many others jump into the carriage to touch the sculpture, stepping on other people's heads if necessary. Crazy atmosphere. Makes Easter processions in Seville look like a very subdued event.
