MANILA (dpa): More than a dozen penitents were nailed to wooden crosses in the Philippines on Friday, while others whipped their backs bloody in gory re-enactments of Jesus Christ’s death.
The Good Friday rituals - the highlight of Easter week celebrations in the predominantly Catholic country - were held in several villages amid intense summer heat and humidity that triggered rain showers in some areas.
