Filipino Catholics reenact crucifixion of Jesus in Good Friday tradition

Devout Catholics in the Philippines marked Good Friday with a re-enactment of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ in San Fernando City, north of the capital Manila. The crucifixion ritual has been a tradition in the province of Pampanga for decades. Devotees undergo the re-enactment in the belief that extreme pain is a way to atone for their sins, attain miracle cures for illnesses or give thanks to God. #goodfriday #phillipines #news (AP video/Iya Forbes) Subscribe: Read more: ​ This video may be available for archive licensing via
