PHILIPPINES-RELIGION-EASTER-RITUAL

Penitent Ruben Enage wails in pain as he is nailed to a cross by residents wearing costumes of Roman centurions during the observance of Lent in the village of Cutud, San Fernando City Pampanga province north of Manila on April 3, 2015. Devotees in the fervently Catholic Philippines marked Good Friday by being nailed to crosses and whipping their backs bloody, in extreme acts of devotion that attracted thousands of spectators.
