Description
Summary:This study focuses on the "Icons and Rituals in the Traslación of the Black Nazarene: A National Allegory." It investigates how the experience of the Black Nazarene Traslación in Quiapo Church could represent a national allegory for the Filipinos and how it could help build the nation. It uses a qualitative method utilizing descriptive methodology to obtain first-hand information based on the devotees’ experiences and its significant impact on their faith-development. At present, studies are scarce about this phenomenal fiesta,primarily through the lenses of nationalist literature. When the country searches for a rallying point for collaborative development while looking back at the 500 years of Christianity, the current study aspires to crystallize issues,paradigms, and contexts of Filipino faith and religiosity as the platform for nationalism.
