Crucifixion rite: 24 nailed to crosses to re-enact Jesus Christ's suffering

At least 24 Filipinos were nailed to crosses to re-enact Jesus Christ's suffering in a Good Friday rite rejected by Catholic church leaders but witnessed by throngs of believers and thousands of tourists.
Ruben Enaje, a 50-year-old sign painter, screamed in pain as villagers dressed as Roman centurions hammered four-inch stainless steel nails through his palms and set him aloft on a cross under a brutal sun in San Pedro Cutud in Pampanga.

I find it rather intresting how you mock the Lord, and how you use the same name a demon used for him in a well documented exorcism. You have real issues...

Seriously, this is really a dumb ritual by ill minded people who obviously don't get it.
