i was here during that time i was one of the person who joined and grabbed the ropes of the black nazarene, i started walking with my bare feet around 6am and started to SALANG at around 9am/ salang means you’ll be pushing your self to get closer to the ropes and grab to it and put it in your shoulder when you have chance,when your on the ropes already its quite amazing feeling that your all in one ropes like brother’s and sister’s and all of the sadden we were all singing the AMANAMIN , if you want to get off the ropes you just need to rise you hand and one of the crowd will take your hand and help you out/its really amazing to be part of this religious event..when the nazarene reach the quipo it will dance for few minutes before it enters the church, this event lasted for almost midnight around 11:30pm i was there, i came with my bare feet and i went home still with my 2 feet alone.. i was so happy even though i was dead tired..

I have to think this over if I’ll be going on Saturday. It’s the madness and the energy in the middle of the procession that I’m seeking but it feels like I’m not yet ready for this scenario.
