actual crucifixion

so these are some pictures i found from last easter. this is pampangas, manila. these people actually volunteer for the reinactment -- and they actually get nailed (as you can see) to the cross. supposedly, they get a doctor to show where to nail, so as to not hit any major veins or ligaments. but still, these are some crazy bastards to get nailed to the cross. they believe that this act is pennance and will cleanse them of their sins. for a so-called christian, bible believing country, they sure do have it all wrong!!!!!
