Devotees flock to the Quiapo Church for blessing of Traslacion 2020 standartes

Hordes of devotees flocked to the Quiapo Church on Saturday for the blessing of the estandartes ahead of the Traslacion on Thursday.

A standarte is a banner or flag which identifies the community that joins the annual Traslacion, according to a Balitanghali report.

Meanwhile, the blessing of the replica of the Black Nazarene would be held on Tuesday.
