The highly revered image of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo was brought to Cagayan de Oro City Monday as part of the celebration leading up to the feast of the widely believed miraculous antique image of a fallen Jesus Christ under the cross.
The callajeron (pilgrimage image of the black Nazarene) was brought to Villamor Air Base and placed inside a C-130 plane of the Philippine Air Force at around 3:30 a.m. The plane left for Cagayan de Oro City at 4 a.m.
Monsignor Clemente Ignacio, parish priest of the Quiapo church, earlier said the Pastoral Council allowed the image to be brought to Mindanao after learning that many Mindanaoans are devotees of the Black Nazarene.
