15 of the Most Dangerous Festivals Around the World

Crucifixion re-enactment, Philippines

Christian devotees in Philippines, particularly in the northern Pampanga province, have themselves nailed to wooden crosses on Good Friday in order to mimic the suffering of Jesus Christ at Crucifixion.

Church leaders have often been vocal against the practice of mixing Catholic devotion with local belief, but that has not deterred devotees from practicing it.

Medical workers are present near the site to take the devotees for supervision once they are lowered from the crosses.
