Every Holy Week some twenty men from the city of San Fernando, in the Pampanga province, are crucified on Good Friday. When I write crucified I mean literally nailed to the cross. Many of the local young men also wander around town flagellating themselves until their backs are raw and bleeding.
The whole event was a mix of deep religious fervor, rite of passage and touristic attraction, with a splash of gore. Definitely not for the faint of heart.
While taking the photos and maybe to compensate, I could not take this song off my head. Perfect ending.
