Filipino Catholics reenact crucifixion on Good Friday

In a dramatic display of faith and fervor, Catholic devotees in the northern Philippine province of Pampanga are nailed to wooden crosses on Good Friday, April 18, 2025, re-enacting the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The ceremony took place in Cutud, a village north of Manila, drawing hundreds of local and foreign spectators. What began as a modest stage play in the 1960s has since evolved into one of the country’s most striking Holy Week rituals. The crucifixion rituals are part of the Holy Week observance, which spans from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday and remains one of the most sacred and solemn times in the Philippine religious calendar.
