The Black Nazarene is called so because of its dark, almost black appearance, which is attributed to the statue's history and the materials used in its creation. The statue, depicting Jesus Christ bearing the cross, was brought to the Philippines from Mexico in the 17th century and has since become a significant religious icon, especially in Manila. Its deep color symbolizes the suffering of Christ and resonates with the devotion of millions of Filipino Catholics who participate in the annual procession honoring it.
