6:45Now PlayingEvery year, on Good Friday, something truly extraordinary happens in the Philippines. Some Filipinos, as part of their repentance and show of faith, choose to re-enact the life and suffering of Jesus Christ by being nailed to the cross themselves. This tradition has been a source of controversy for many years, with the Catholic Church in the Philippines disapproving of the practice, and yet it still remains a deeply ingrained part of the country's religious culture. This year's Good Friday saw dozens of villagers in the farming town of San Pedro Cutud in Pampanga registering to participate in real-life crucifixions, but only eight men showed up. Among them was Ruben Enaje, a 62-year-old sign painter who had already been crucified 34 times. Some repentants show their faith and repentance by beating themselves with sharp bamboo sticks and wood to atone for their sins, pray for healing, and give thanks for a better life during this holy week. Despite the Catholic Church's disapproval of these bloody practices, the spectacle in San Pedro Cutud draws as many as 15,000 tourists from all over the world.
