Philippines' Catholic devotees nailed to crosses to re-enact crucifixion
Quick Glance: Philippine Devotees Experience Crucifixion Re-Enactment
  • In sweltering heat north of the Philippines capital Manila, Catholic followers were nailed to crosses on Good Friday to re-enact the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

  • Approximately 20,000 Filipino and foreign visitors gathered in San Pedro Cutud in Pampanga province to witness this annual display of dedication, which is not endorsed by the Roman Catholic Church in the Philippines.

  • These crucifixions represented the most extreme manifestation of faith in the Philippines, where around 80% of its over 110 million inhabitants identify as Roman Catholics.

  • During Holy Week, certain believers whip themselves with bamboo lashes, viewing it as a form of penance to cleanse their sins, heal illnesses, and receive blessings. The Catholic Church opposes such practices, asserting that prayers and genuine repentance suffice to observe Lent.
