SAN FERNANDO, PHILIPPINES – MARCH 29, 2024 A fanatical Catholic willingly allowed himself to be crucified. This happened in the southern Philippines, where the annual Good Friday celebration before Easter is held. Courageous men crucify themselves in front of hundreds of visitors. They believe it’s to cleanse themselves of their sins. They also want to show their gratitude to Jesus.
