Devotees nailed to crosses on Good Friday in Philippines

SAN PEDRO CUTUD, Philippines (AP) — Several Roman Catholic devotees have been nailed to wooden crosses in a gory Good Friday ritual in the Philippines, and others flogged themselves or took part in religious plays to reenact Jesus Christ’s suffering.
Four men and a woman people wearing crowns of twigs and escorted by villagers dressed as Roman centurions were nailed to crosses on a dusty hill in San Pedro Cutud village. Similar reenactments played out in nearby farming towns.
