Manila: The image of the Jesus Nazareno will be brought to 15 barangays surrounding Quiapo over six days starting Thursday, as part of preparations for the annual feast.

According to Philippines News Agency, the Quiapo Church announced the schedule for the Barangay Visitation 2026 in a social media post on Wednesday, which will take place from Jan. 1 to 6. The activity forms part of the church's annual devotional events leading up to the feast of the Jesus Nazareno on Jan. 9.

"This is the visit of the image of Jesus Nazareno to the communities under the pastoral care of the Quiapo Church, also known as the Minor Basilica and National Shrine of Jesus Nazareno," the church said.

The visitation will begin on New Year's Day, with Barangay 309 as the first stop following a procession at 2 p.m. On Jan. 2, the image will visit Barangays 308, 306, 307, and 385, where an overnight vigil will be held.

Barangays 387, 383, 388, 385, and 386 are scheduled to receive the image on Jan. 3. The image will then visit Barangays 390, 389, and 392 on Jan. 4. An overnight vigil will be observed in Barangays 391 and 394 on Jan. 5.

On the final day, Jan. 6, the image will visit Barangays 393 and 394 before being brought back to Quiapo Church in a concluding procession.

The annual feast typically draws millions of devotees. The highlight of the celebration is the Traslacion, the traditional procession of the image from the Quirino Grandstand in Luneta to the Minor Basilica of Jesus Nazareno along Quezon Boulevard on the feast day.
