It is a significant religious icon in the Philippines. Key facts about the Black Nazarene: The statue arrived in Manila from Mexico in 1606. It is enshrined in the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo, Manila. The statue's dark color is believed to have originated from a fire on the ship that brought it to the Philippines.

The Black Nazarene is considered miraculous, with many devotees attributing miraculous powers to it. The image is brought out for public veneration three times a year. In 2024, the host church and the image were officially renamed Jesus Nazareno. https://img.leopedia.io/DQmQDi4YwMYa4avuVRTzthe9LJhw78DkLonNSezHRszREVo/1000032653.jpg Next is Our Lady of the Holy Rosary of Silahis, a Marian title associated with a wooden Black Madonna statue in the Philippines.
