Every year Christians all over the world come together to celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
However, unfortunately, some Philippine Christians seem to have taken the easter celebration way too far.
For the last 33 years, the Philippines have adopted the act of crucifying one of the volunteers as Jesus was Crucified on the cross.
This year’s Easter holiday was no difference one man identified as Ruben Enaje volunteered to be crucified.
The 58 Enaje, portrayed Jesus Christ’s crucifixion and death on Good Friday in front of crowds of foreign and local tourists in San Pedro Cutud village in Pampanga province.
According to Enaje, his crucifixion is a reminder to the world about the plight of Jesus Christ.
Two men and a woman were also crucified together with Enaje.
A total of nine people in three separate crucifixion sites took part in the extreme Catholic penitence, which the Church constantly rejects as unnecessary.
Dozens of barefoot penitents whipped themselves and carried large wooden crosses in sweltering heat on Thursday as they participated in a ritual ahead of Easter in Asia’s biggest Catholic nation.
