Philippines News | Devotees Nailed To Crosses To Mark Good Friday In Philippines | Good Friday 2023 More than a dozen Filipino penitents are nailed to crosses on Good Friday in a re-enactment of Christ's passion. More than a dozen Filipinos were nailed to crosses in a re-enactment of Christ's passion on Good Friday (April 2) in a town north of the capital. In the 55th year of the festival, Christ was played by local Ruben Inaje, who said he was being nailed to a cross for the 24th time, as thousands of locals and foreign tourists watched. A devoted Catholic who attends mass every month, he says the voluntary crucifixion is his religious penance. He began the ritual after miraculously surviving a fall from a building unscathed.
