A 15-year-old boy has been crucified in the Philipines today in a gory ritual to mark the death of Jesus Christ.
Dozens of Filipinos, including the boy and an 18-year-old girl, were nailed to crosses and scores more whipped their backs into a bloody pulp as the country's devout Roman Catholics marked Good Friday.
The voluntary crucifixions in the northern Philippines were the most extreme displays of religious devotion in this mainly Catholic country, where millions are praying and fasting ahead of the Easter weekend.
Better make sure that nail is sterilised: A Filipino man is crucified today
A man is nailed to the cross in the Philippines today
In the small village of Cutud, about 80 km (50 miles) north of Manila, men cried out as nails the size of pencils were driven into their hands and feet before they were hoisted up in the scorching heat. Nineteen were to go through the process.
But government health and safety officials were keeping their eye on proceedings, after health minister Francisco Duque told those planning to be crucified to ensure they have a tetanus jab and use sterilised nails.
Never mind the clear dangers to your health of crucifixion, so long as the danger of infection is safely reduced.
Thousands watched the spectacle in Cutud, which has grown from a village production started in 1962 to a media and tourist attraction copied in other parts of the country.
For hours before the crucifixions lines of men, hooded and half naked, flayed their backs with bamboo whips and paddles tipped with broken glass. Blood splattered over the road.
The atmosphere was festive, with hawkers selling beer, ice-cream and souvenir whips. VIPs watched from a specially elevated "viewing platform".
Already up to 20 have taken part in the crucifixion today
The country's dominant Catholic Church disapproves of the crucifixions and flagellations as a misrepresentation of the faith.
"The spiritual dimension is totally lost, and it's entered into only because of some shows, some manifestations for other people to be satisfied with or to see," said Bishop Deogracias Iniguez.
"Many of these penitents, those who are practicing these physical afflictions have a meagre, have a shallow understanding of these practices."
Some foreigners have previously been crucified including a Belgian nun and a Japanese man, who later allowed footage of his ordeal to be used in a pornographic film. No one has ever died during the rituals.
Over 80 per cent of the Philippines' estimated 90 million population are Catholic and across the archipelago this weekend will be a time for church ritual, family and the beach.
Filipinos infuse their Catholic faith with local superstitions and some people avoid taking a shower or doing laundry after 3 p.m. (0700 GMT) on Good Friday - the time Chrst was believed to have died - for fear of bad luck.
The Filipino government says it cannot stop the devotees from crucifying and whipping themselves
The health department said that those taking part in the rituals should have tetanus shots, check the condition of the whip they will use before lashing their backs and ensure the six-inch nails that will pierce their hands and feet have been sterilised.
"If we can't stop flagellants from whipping their own flesh, the best thing these penitents can do is ensure that their whips are clean and well maintained," said Health Secretary Francisco Duque.
"We are not trying to go against tradition because whipping has somewhat already become some form of atonement for sins for some of us.
"But this advice is important to make sure that no-one will land in hospital due to tetanus or other infections that penitents might get in the process."

Most of us think of crucifixion as ancient history – a gruesome execution method practiced by the Romans and other long-ago cultures – with Jesus Christ its most famous victim. But crucifixion, though rare, has continued into the modern day – as a devotional practice among fervent Christians, as a tool of terror, even as performance art. Some of the modern crucified were victims of brutality, but some of them actually volunteered.
When it comes to crucifixion bragging rights, it’s hard to top Ruben Enaje, a Filipino sign painter. As of 2014, he had been nailed to a cross for 28 consecutive years , volunteering annually for the gory ritual.
Enaje is one of many Filipinos, most from the northern province of Pampanga, who re-enact the death of Jesus Christ every Good Friday. Enaje is thought to have performed it the most times.
“Two years ago, I said it would be the last time I’d do it,” Enaje told a journalist in 2013. “But every time I say that, my wife gets sick. I guess God wants me to continue this sacrifice as a lifetime vow .”
Initially, Enaje promised God he would be crucified for nine years, his thanks for surviving a three-story fall from a billboard he was painting. He continued for nine more years as a prayer for healing for his asthmatic daughter, and an additional nine for his wife, suffering from a lump in her jaw.
Thousands watch as Enaje has 5-inch stainless steel nails driven into his hands and feet. After hanging on the cross for five minutes, he is brought down to have the wounds cleaned and bandaged.
Souvenir sellers and food vendors work the crowd, proving no spectacle is too gory to make a peso. The Filipino Catholic Church officially disapproves of the annual rites, but that has done little to stop the devout. Enaje’s wounds heal within a couple of months. His wife, Juanita, keeps the four nails soaking in alcohol year round.
The man chosen to play Jesus in one of the biggest, most ardent passion plays in the world faces challenges beyond embodying the savior of all humankind.
He must endure a ritual whipping, then drag a 200-pound cross for three miles up a steep hill. Finally, he must withstand 20 minutes bound to the cross in Iztapalapa, a borough of Mexico City. And remember his lines.
Oh – and no dating, drinking, smoking or partying for Jesus, or Mary either. Once cast, the actors must emulate the purity of their characters. (As for Judas, the villain, he has to put up with taunts of “traitor,” and may even have rotten fruit thrown at him.)
The spectacle lasts the entire Holy Week, has 50 main roles and attracts more than two million spectators. Many of the key parts have remained with certain families for generations, handed down from father to son and mother to daughter.
In 2009, Diego Villagrán Villalobos, the 18-year-old football player chosen to play Jesus, embarked on an enhanced fitness regimen that included running more than three miles a day to prepare for his performance. But he still struggled to shoulder the cross to the site of his crucifixion.
In Raqqa, a Syrian city, ISIS terrorists have tied the bodies of some of their victims to crosses with string and publicly displayed them in the square. Eyewitnesses have taken photographs of the grisly scenes and circulated them online. Masked men wrapped one corpse in a banner that read in Arabic: “This man fought Muslims and detonated an IED here.”
The crucifixions are calculated to terrorize anyone who might question the regime, as well as a revival of ancient punishments seen by fanatical Muslims as more religiously “authentic,” according to an American professor of Islamic studies.
“ISIS needs to attach meaning to their killing. Simply murdering in a state of constant warfare is void of value, so they must attach a message or propaganda to what they are doing,” said Abbas Barzegar of Georgia State University.
Crucifixion is mentioned in the Koran as a suitable punishment for those “waging war against Allah” (although the following passage urges believers to remember Allah’s mercy).
From January through May 2012, a militant group, Ansar al-Shari’a, controlled part of southern Yemen. Amnesty International documented the al-Qa’ida affiliate’s human-rights abuses – including public executions, flogging, chopping off hands and the crucifixion of an executed man.
Saleh Ahmed Saleh al-Jamli, 28, was found guilty by a religious court of planting electronic devices in vehicles carrying Ansar al-Shari’a commanders. The devices, the court ruled, allowed U.S. drones to track and kill the commanders. Saleh Ahmed Saleh al-Jamli was sentenced to death, and his body hung afterward on a cross.
The radical Islamist group was driven out of the region in June 2012.
A punishment known as “crucifixion” remains a sentencing option in Saudi Arabia. It takes place after beheadings, with headless corpses hung from horizontal bars in public places, the severed heads suspended beside them in bags. The hanging bodies often resemble crosses.
The kingdom imposes the death penalty for offenses to Islam as well as for actual crimes. People accused of apostasy, adultery, homosexual acts or witchcraft can be executed.
In 2009, Amnesty International denounced the beheading and crucifixion of a man accused of kidnapping and murder, as well as homosexual intercourse and porn possession. The human-rights organization also protested the 2013 beheading and crucifixion of five Yemeni men, whose bodies were displayed in front of the University of Jizan during exams. The Yemenis allegedly were part of a gang of armed robbers.
Also in 2013, the kingdom sentenced seven convicted thieves to beheading and crucifixion, but only carried out the beheadings after human rights groups protested. The seven men were allegedly juveniles at the time of their arrests and claimed they were tortured and denied lawyers.
An accused rapist was snatched from police custody, crucified naked and left hanging from a road sign – his penis cut off and stuffed in his mouth – in Mexico in 2012.
Police found the unfortunate victim , Eladio Martinez Cruz, 24, the day after armed men in two cars blocked the police cruisers taking him to the station and kidnapped him. Cruz’s arms had been tied to a wooden pole and a cardboard sign staked to his chest with ice picks. The sign read: “This happened to me for being a rapist, and it is going to happen to all the scandalmongers, traitors … Be aware that this is not a game.”
Authorities suspected a drug cartel called the Knights Templar, whose members set themselves up as Robin Hood -style vigilantes.
A few soldiers captured by the Japanese in World War II reported their captors used a form of crucifixion as punishment. The most well-known victim was Herbert James “Ringer” Edwards , the inspiration for the character Joe Harman in Nevil Shute’s novel, “A Town Like Alice.”
According to his own account , Edwards and two comrades were bound with fencing wire, suspended from a tree and beaten with baseball bats – because they had killed Burmese cattle for food. When Edwards managed to free one hand, the Japanese drove the wire through his palms. The only one of the three Australians to survive, Edwards endured his punishment for 63 hours.
Another POW forced to help build the Thailand-Burma Railway testified before a war-crimes tribunal he found evidence of the crucifixion of four soldiers who had tried to escape. Amid the undergrowth outside the camp he and other POWs discovered four bamboo crosses , one of which had the dead body of a British soldier tied to it.
Sebastian Horsley, the London diarist, artist, drug abuser, obsessive compulsive and provocateur, liked to do hands-on artistic research. When he decided to paint crucifixions, he had himself crucified in the Philippines in 2000. Overcoming the country’s reluctance to allow a foreigner to participate in the Good Friday rituals, he brought along a photographer and videographer to document the experience.
Overwhelmed by pain when the nails were driven into his hands, Horsley passed out. His cross was raised, but the foot rest broke, followed by the wrist straps. Horsley tumbled to the ground. When he came to, he was devastated. He wrote in his diary, “I have been punished by a God I don’t believe in and he has thrown me off the cross for impersonating his son, for being an atheist, and for being a disaster. I have made a complete fool of myself. I am going to be a laughing stock.”
Horsley died in 2010 of a heroin and cocaine overdose .
Getting nailed to a Volkswagen Beetle was just another day at the office for Chris Burden.
As an American performance “body artist” in the 70s, Burden specialized in pushing his limits in pursuit of his artistic vision. He was shot, burned, stuck with pins, crawled across 50 feet of broken glass and lived crammed in a tiny locker for five days. Burden and other conceptual artists of the time confronted a public desensitized to violence by TV images of the Vietnam War, while creating art focused on action, rather than objects.
For “Trans-fixed,” performed in 1974 in Venice, Calif., Burden had himself nailed, arms outstretched, across the back of a Volkswagen. It was rolled out of a garage to be viewed by the audience, the engine running at full throttle for two minutes to represent screaming in pain . Then the ignition was turned off, the car pushed back into the garage and the door closed.
Burden still works as an artist, now mainly creating sculptures and art installations. No word on what happened to the Volkswagen .
It seems nothing can faze London shoppers, not even a man crucified right outside a busy London transit station .
Artist Richard Bagguley staged the crucifixion of S.P. Howarth, poet and performance artist, at Oxford Circus in October 2009. Howarth was tied to the cross and photographed by André Camara. Bagguley studied the commuters’ reactions – or lack of them – in the photographs and used them as the basis for two paintings of the scene.
As the finished paintings show, most people ignored the spectacle and went about their business.
As one Englishwoman commented, “People are too busy shopping. No one would bother to look if Michael Jackson returned from the dead and re-enacted ‘Thriller’.”
All we seem to think of by nature, when it comes to crucifixion is literal physical punishment and literal death. So when people voluntarily, literally, have themselves nailed to a cross, then even the idea of it being the most painful physical torture rather evaporates. But what I sincerly believe that people do NOT GET is that crucifixion of Jesus along with EVERYTHING ELSE in Scripture is written of because it represents something else allegorically, poetically, “SPIRITUALLY” …being killed on a “tree” (wood stake, pole, even perhaps “cross” though the word is improper translation) ALL relates back to Genesis when God’s WORD is disregarded as a lie ….His WORD which was GIVEN for the benefit of man (adam) was put to open shame spiritually “killed” Read the opening verses in the Book of John and note for yourself that SPIRITUALLY Jesus IS the “WORD” from the beginning! Spiritually MAN (adam) receives the promised death for eating/partaking of the “fruit” of the “tree” ..the “tree” in Scripture is none other than the heart of MAN …the “fruit” we partake of by nature is our OWN presumption of “good and evil” INSTEAD of letting “God be true and every MAN (adam) a liar” …this is my best understanding so far….check it out honestly WITHOUT leaning on any preconceived doctrine you learned via MAN as the bible says “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean NOT on thine OWN understanding…”
