Filipino devotees nailed to cross

Ouch!

I can hardly believe the video I just watched on LiveLeak, and I think if you can stomach it, you should see this. In the video, a man in San Pedro Cutud, a northern Philippine village is nailed to a cross as a part of a Lenten ritual to mark Good Friday. His feet and palms are attached to a wooden cross and then a 4-inch nail is hammered into his flesh. Although the ritual is opposed by religious leaders, it has persisted to become one of the country's most-anticipated attractions.
