What better way to celebrate Good Friday..

than to be nailed to a cross or watch the event as a tourist.
The devotees' palms and feet were attached to wooden crosses with 4-inch nails soaked in alcohol to prevent infection after a nearly mile-long walk to the mound, each carrying a wooden cross on their backs.

"Among the yearly penitents was Ruben Enaje, a 46-year-old commercial sign maker who was nailed to the cross for the 21st time Friday."

Question: Why?

I think he enjoys the high of his natural painkillers that (partly) act on the same opioid receptor as heroin, morphine and other painkillers.

This is what happens when drugs are illegal :)
