The Black Nazareth in Sapian
The Black Nazareth in Sapian is miracolous patron saints. Celebrating its fiesta every January 9, its fiesta is the best of fiesta you've encounter in every man's life, because of every devoted "deboto" person, coming and witness the Black Nazareth parade. It is simple but exciting moment for us if we also try it in our town. Yeah, Sapian Municipality try it once, and i'ved heard they try it again this year!, because last year the first visit of Black Nazareth of Quiapo.Here in Sapian is one of the best contribution of Municipality not only in the people here but also in the other part of the Province of Capiz and also the other part of the Region VI. I am so amaze that time when I saw the church of Sapian, full of "Deboto" of Nazareno, coming from different part of Capiz and Region VI. Sapian Municipality is one of hte best town here in Capiz eventhough we don't have enough tourists spot, but Sapian is the only town who bring different patron saints, like Nazareno. We welcoming the arrival of "Nuestro Padre Jesus De Nazareno"this coming August 16, 2010. The second time of our Jesus De Nazareno here in Sapian. Werw hoping that there's a lot if "Deboto" from different town came to witness and share there time to have a "Vigil Prayer" for "Nuestro Padre Jesus De Nazareno". This is once in a lifetime moment for us that the Black Nazarene of Qiapo is coming to our beloved town Sapian.
