A Filipino Catholic playing the role of Jesus Christ during Holy Week rites in the Philippines reenacted the crucifixion for the 33rd and the penultimate time this week on Good Friday, April 19.
Ruben Enaje, 58, is known for annually portraying Jesus Christ's crucifixion and death on Good Friday in front of crowds of foreign and local tourists in San Pedro Cutud village in Pampanga province, north of Manila, since the 1980s.
Actors pretended to drive four-inch nails into both his hands and feet and lifted him on a wooden cross for about five minutes. (Reuters)
