Crucified

[capt_buzzard]

Filipino policemen atoned for their sins yesterday by flagellating themselves and volunteering to be crucified. Nineteen policemen who were facing dismissal or suspension took part in the Lenten Rites, a bloody re-enactment of Jesus Christ's final hours, in order to save their jobs.

Wearing crowns of rope leaves and struggling under the weight of wooden crosses, they trudged for nearly two miles through San Fernando city, 25 miles north of Manila. Four men volunteered to whip their backs to show repentance,while one police superintendent was strapped to the cross.

Officers who had neglected their duty were told that they could keep their jobs if they took part in the Lenten Rites to show repentance for their sins.

This has now become a tourist attraction in Asia's most populous Roman Catholic country.

The men had their palms and feet nailed to crosses with four-inch nails, soacked in alcohol to prevent infection.
