2015 A New Year Indeed For KatKab!

After some dormant months, KatKab is back and is gaining momentum with a number of Catholic activities which starts as early as January 2015. Well first of course is Jan 1 which is the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God. This is a day of obligation for Catholics as Mary is celebrated as the Theotokos or "God Bearer" who brought into the world Jesus Christ.

There is also the celebration of the feast of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo or the traslacion that happens on Jan 9 where millions of Catholics join in to pray to Jesus the Nazarene and bring his image from Luneta to Quaipo. This 400 year old tradition has been faithfully followed by Filipinos and even pilgrims from provinces flock to Manila for the celebration. 

Feast of the Black Nazarene 2015 Schedule Revealed

As 2015 starts, the feast of the black nazarene in Quiapo is one of the most anticipated religous festivals in the Philippines which millions of Filipino Catholics attend. And just recently, they have posted their theme and the schedule for the observance of this celebration.

As a devotee, I made it a point to attend the feast day as one of my annual traditions as prayers and intentions asked with the grace of the Nazarene were answered prayers and bountiful blessings.
