The Conversion of St Paul, apostle - Feast
THE CONVERSION OF ST. PAUL(Feast)
The great apostle Paul, named Saul at his circumcision, was born at Tarsus, the capital of Silicia, and was by privilege a Roman citizen, to which quality a great distinction and several exemptions were granted by the laws of the empire. He was early instructed in the strict observance of the Mosaic law, and lived up to it in the most scrupulous manner. In his zeal for the Jewish law, which he thought the cause of God, he became a violent persecutor of the Christians.
He was one of those who combined to murder St. Stephen, and in the violent persecution of the faithful which followed the martyrdom of the holy deacon, Saul signalized himself above others.
By virtue of the power he had received from the high priest, he dragged the Christians out of their houses, loaded them with chains, and thrust them into prison. In the fury of his zeal he applied for a commission to take up all Jews at Damascus who confessed Jesus Christ, and bring them bound to Jerusalem, that they might serve as examples for the others.
But God was pleased to show forth in him His patience and mercy. While on his way to Damascus, he and his party were surrounded by a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, and suddenly struck to the ground. And then a voice was heard saying, "Saul, Saul, why dost thou persecute Me?" And Saul answered, "Who art Thou, Lord?" and the voice replied, "I am Jesus, Whom thou dost persecute." This mild expostulation of Our Redeemer, accompanied with a powerful interior grace, cured Saul's pride, assuaged his rage, and wrought at once a total change in him. Wherefore, trembling and astonished, he cried out, "Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?" Our Lord ordered him to arise and to proceed on his way to the city, where he should be informed of what was expected from him.
Saul, arising from the ground, found that, though his eyes were open, he saw nothing. He was led by hand into Damascus, where he was lodged in the house of a Jew named Judas. To this house came by divine appointment a holy man named Ananias, who, laying his hands on Saul, said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, Who appeared to thee on thy journey, hath sent me that thou mayest receive thy sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit." Immediately something like scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he recovered his sight. Then he arose and was baptized; he stayed some few days with the disciples at Damascus, and began immediately to preach in the synagogues that Jesus was the Son of God.
Thus a blasphemer and a persecutor was made an apostle, and chosen as one of God's principal instruments in the conversion of the world.Lives of the Saints, by Alban Butler, Benziger Bros. ed. [1894]

The Way How Filipinoes Celebrate Black Nazarene Feast

What is Black Nazarene?
The Black Nazarene is a life-sized, dark-colored, wooden sculpture of Jesus Christ held to be miraculous by many Filipino devotees. Its original carver is an anonymous Mexican carpenter, and the image was transported by a galleon from Acapulco, Mexico. The image is currently enshrined in the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo, Manila, Philippines where novena celebrations are held every Friday throughout the whole year. Roman Catholic tradition holds that the Black Nazarene came from a boat that caught fire, turning it from its original white into black or charred complexion. The Black Nazarene is carried into the streets for procession in a "Caroza" or carriage.
The feast of the Most Holy Black Nazarene is celebrated every 9th of January while novena masses begin on the first Friday day of the year, in honor of its weekly novena mass held every Friday. During the annual public procession, only the body of the Black Nazarene is displayed in procession to the public, while the original head portion of the statue is retained in the Basilica of the Black Nazarene within the high altars of the church. The Black Nazarene is also famously noted for its devotees who walk the procession streets barefoot, without shoes or sandals as to imitate Jesus Christ on his way to Mount Calvary. From WIKIPEDIA

Paano Pinaghandaan ang prosisyon?
MANILA – Pinaghahandaan na ng Philippine National Police ang magiging seguridad sa kapistahan ng Black Nazarene sa Quiapo, Maynila sa susunod na linggo.Ayon kay Police Superintended Ernesto Tendero, ground commander ng PNP-Manila Station 3, umaasa siyang higit na magiging maayos ang prusisyon ngayong taon kumpara noong 2009 na nagkaroon ng kaguluhan dahil binago ang ruta na dinaanan ng imahe.Tinatayang 1,000 pulis ang ipakakalat sa dadaanan ng prusisyon na inaasahang dadaluhan ng milyon-milyong deboto ng Nazareno na nakabase sa simbahan ng Quiapo, ayon sa opisyal.“Ang problema noong nakaraang taon, naghilaan ang mga tao dahil nag-iba iyong ruta ng Nazareno. Ngayon, inaasahan naming mas maayos, mas madali ang magiging takbo ng prusisyon dahil balik na sa dati," paliwanag niya.Sa Biyernes ng gabi (Enero 8), dadalhin ang Black Nazarene sa Luneta Park para sa overnight vigil. Ibibiyahe muli ito pabalik ng simbahan simula 8 am sa Sabado.Muli umanong ilalagay ang mga modernong gamit tulad ng Global Positioning System (GPS) at mga closed-circuit television (CCTV) sa mga dadaanan ng prusisyon.Ihahanda rin ang mga medical teams ng Philippine National Police (PNP), Manila City Hall, at mga volunteer organization para lapatan ng lunas ang mga mangangailangan. Bukod pa rito ang mga nakaantabay na ambulansiya at trak ng bumbero na ilalagay sa ibat-ibang lugar.Noong 2008, dalawang deboto ang nagbuwis ng buhay at hindi mabilang ang mga nasaktan at hinimatay sa ginawang prusisyon ng pinaniniwalaang milagrosong imahe. Nagkaroon ng kaguluhan sa prusisyon noong nakaraang taon nang ilihis ng mga deboto ang ruta ng karosa na sinasakyan ng Nazareno at ibalik sa dati nitong ruta. Ang karosa ng Nazareno ay umuusad sa pamamagitan ng paghatak sa lubid ng mga deboto.Paniwala ng mga deboto, may dalang biyaya sa kanilang buhay kapag dumaan sa tapat ng kanilang bahay ang rebulto ng Nazareno. (Basahin: Bakit Itim ang Nazareno?) Pinapaniwalaan na ang imahe ng Nazareno ay dinala ng mga Kastila sa bansa noong 1607. Nagsilbing tahanan ng rebulto ang Saint John de Baptist Church sa Quiapo simula noong 1787. - GMANews.TV

The largest procession

The procession of the Black Nazarene is the largest procession in the country.
It takes place on January the 9th and on Good Friday through the streets of Quiapo,
a small part of metro Manila.
The procession dates from the 17th century. Thousands of men parade through the streets with the life-sized, black wooden statue of Jesus (of Nazarene).

A miracle after touching the statue?

During the feast of the Black Nazarene thousands of barefoot men join the annual procession. Walking barefoot during the procession is seen as a sign of humility.
During this procession the men yell "Viva Señor".

Everybody who is in the neighbourhood of the cross tries to touch the statue. People believe that a miracle can happen after touching it.
The statue was bought by a priest in Mexico and brought to Manila in 1606.

A black Christ ?

The Black Nazarene is a more than 200-year-old statue.
Black? One tale is telling that during the Spanish colonial period missionaries brought an icon to Manila. During the trip however, there was a fire on board and the icon, the Nazarene, caught fire. Despite its charred condition, the Nazarene was kept save and honored from then on.

The statue is to be seen in the Saint John the Baptist Church in Quiapo in Manila, where it has been housed since 1787.

Feast of the Black Nazarene
Every year thousands of pilgrims from all over the country come to Manila to be part of the procession of the Black Nazarene. All participants in the procession hope that they will have the opportunity to touch the wooden statue. They hope that this will protect them from harm and ensure health
in the future. Indeed, it is said that sometimes persons were healed of diseases after touching the statue! (A Filipino: "My daughter was very sick, so I joined this procession last year. Now she is cured...."). Some of them follow the statue during the procession because they believe it is an atonement of their sins or hope for some miracle.
