Whoa: Filipino Devotees Are Nailed To Crosses To Re-enact Jesus's Crucifixion In Easter Ritual!

Several Filipino devotees were nailed to crosses in a re-enactment of a Good Friday ritual. Ruben Enaje, 57, who has been re-enacting Jesus Christ’s suffering and death for the past 31 years, said he always prays for the health of his family during the ritual. The gory spectacle reflects the Philippines’ unique brand of Catholicism, which merges church traditions with folk superstitions. Many of the mostly impoverished penitents undergo the ritual to atone for sins, pray for the sick or for a better life, and to give thanks for what they believe were God-given miracles.
